Public bug reported:

Part of rendering the main navigation is it checks all the plugins to
see if they want to add to the menu.

This is not an ideal way of doing it. We should cache the main menu's
$menu array in the database after first render and just use that.

We should also have a clear_menu_cache($institution = null) function so
that when the site or and institution updates it's config the related
cached menus are cleared and able to generate again.

We should also clear the menu cache when plugins are installed / removed
/ hidden / shown
