Gatsby source wordpress menus

Description

this is a gatsby source plugin to read wordpress menus via the REST API and make its contents available via GraphQL. It specifically supports WPML. If you are not using WPML then there are usually better ways to get at this data (e.g. via GraphQL or gatsby-source-wordpress).

Unfortunately support for additional query parameters or route modification are still not supported in gatsby.
