Convert drupal navigation menus to drupal menu objects

Description

Currently the OSGeo Foundation and OSGeo Community menus (top left of www.osgeo.org) are raw html snippets. This prevents them from being managed by drupal's menuing system and translation tools.

I have tested this and it works fine, but will require some modest css changes to make the layout work efectively. This too has been tested and will be ported to primary server.

I've changed the "OSGeo Foundation" and "OSGeo Community" left sidebar menus into Drupal menu objects. The great thing about it is that you no longer have to edit a very low-level "block" object with scary HTML to add/modify the menu. Also these objects can be translated into other languages. Other than that you will not notice much change.

Now, anyone with project manager, admin role or translator roles can edit the menus using the menu management tool at: http://www.osgeo.org/admin/menu. Scroll to bottom to see the two menus. You can "edit" a menu item/link to change it or to translate it into another language. If you have any questions about it, let me know.

I should mention that this required changes to the nav.css and style.css files as part of the CMS theme. Any other types of menus that get created will require similar formatting changes to make them look right.
