enable menu separator for nautilus extensions.

Allow extensions to create menu separators without modifying the API.

I have created patch that does that.

usage:
NautilusMenuItem *separator = nautilus_menu_item_new ("separator1", "-", "", "");

Review of attachment 259783 [details] [review]:

We no longer use the UI manager, but if it can be done with current code, I'm fine with this approach!

Also, sorry it took so long to review.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:31:55 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
