[development] create a block with menu links

[Lee Rowlands]

Hi Lluis
It might be worth having a look at how devel module does it in function
devel_install.
It registers a new menu on install and adds menu items to the menu,
reusing the core menu and block modules and hence allowing the user to
modify the menu at a later date and also any other contrib modules that
interact with and extend these modules.
This is how the devel menu block is created.
