[441946] Reorder the menus (categories) of the contextual menu in

the VSM.

Menu builders (not sub-menus) use static priorities defined in
AbstractMenuBuilder, but the actual values of these priorities are
defined in the plugin.properties file.
The order is, for now, the same as before (alphabetically), with maybe a
minor difference : the "Initialize" menu is placed after all the "New
..." menus because it is a hidden functionality.

Bug: 441946
