Custom menus feature in slscart

A custom menu is one that the menu links are hand-entered; nothing is automatically populated. This is useful if slscart is being used primarily as a content management system (CMS).

Currently, only one custom menu is allowed and it is only a horizontal menu.

To use the custom menu in the template, use the tic %CUSTOMNAV_HORIZONTAL%.
