[development] create a block with menu links

[Lluís Forns]

To Lee Rowlands; using just "hook_install()" is not an option; when I
make changes to my devel site, it is easier to just upload files and
clear cache than go through admin menus and repeat the changes.

To Nan Wich: I didn't know about this approach. I added my menu to
database using hook_update_n() and after changing my menu structure it
works perfect now.
