UI: Object "Make Links" sub-menu overhaul

- Rename to "Link/Transfer Data".
- Move Mesh Data Transfer operators here from the Relations sub-menu.
- Clarify which operations links to, copies or transfers/projects
  data using Link, Copy and Transfer leading text.
- Re-order contents to fit each category and add separators.
- Add enum tool-tips.
