[IMP] Convert XMLRPC handler to a regular HTTP controller

CoremasterbaseMEDIUM

XML-RPC and standard web requests are now handled through the same web request system, making connection details such as the user's remote IP address available more consistently. This improves reliability for features or audits that depend on knowing where a request came from.

Original PR description

Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses: This way, XMLRPC calls (and, BTW, normal HTTP calls) can have a way to know i.e. the remote IP.

Current behavior before PR: See #24183

Desired behavior after PR is merged: Fix #24183

[IMP] website: remove page creation in menu manager + menu container

PR #24636

CoremasterwebsiteMEDIUM

Website menu management no longer offers page creation from within the menu manager, avoiding lost menu edits caused by redirects. Website users can now create menu-only containers for dropdowns using placeholder links, while page creation remains available from the main New button.

Original PR description

This commit:
1. removed the possibility to create page from the menu manager.
   The usability of this feature wasn't great since create menu as a new page
   would redirect to that newly created page without saving the menu manager
   state.
   Plus, there is already the 'NEW' button on the navbar to create a new page,
   the menu manager should, as its name hint, only manage menus.
2. Handle a new case (officially at least) of menu: menu container.
   Those menu are simply menus with '#' as URL. It will be usefull to create a
   menu as a dropdown list container.
   Note: We should take care of a menu's URL being updated to '#' to avoid the
         menu's page URL to be also edited to '#'.
