[Bug 1130722] [NEW] Change nautilus menu layout in Unity back to the style of 3.4

When fixing this bug, also take a look at bug #1131664 at the same time
if possible.

------------------------------------------------------------

In Nautilus 3.6, introduced in raring, the menu layout was changed from the traditional all-entries-in-one-menubar to:
* an application menu called "Files" in the Unity menu bar
* a view menu has moved to some toolbar buttons and a dropdown under an arrow in the upper right of a window
* all other menu items have moved to a cog button dropdown in the upper right of a window

For Unity, we should probably switch back to the more traditional layout
(and keep the new layout for GNOME).  I'll assign an Ayatana task to get
design guidance on what the layout should be.

------------------------
Desired resolution:

- Remove the 'cog' icon from the top right of the Nautilus toolbar.
Move the view and search buttons over to the right, so that the right
most view button occupies the position which previously held the cog
button.

- Patch Nautilus to have the following menu layout:
