UI: default to searching menus instead of operators

Menus from the top-bar, space-header and key bindings are used
to gather menus to populate the search popup.

Giving better context and default options for operators.

Part of T74157

Enabling "Developer Extras" exposes operator search in the Edit menu,
as this can be useful for developers to run operators
without first exposing them in the interface.
