Message:

Menus: Allow larger menus to be created in the Edit Menu screen.

In the Edit Menu screen, each menu item creates 11 form input elements. In menus with more than 71 menu items, often items after the 71st weren't saved. This was because PHP's runtime configuration max_input_vars default value is 1000. Large menus exceed this, so PHP didn't populate the $_POST superglobal for the latter menu items.

The entire form is now JSON-encoded into a single input which populates $_POST manually on form submission.

See #14134.
