Twenty Fifteen: expanding a sub-menu when the sidebar is fixed needs to conditionally unfix the sidebar

Description

Decided it would be better not to reopen #29979 at this point due to its length, but the associated code needs to account for this case. If it's short enough that the sidebar is fixed, but you staart opening submenus, you are unable to scroll the sidebar. This can potentially make it impossible to access certain submenu items on certain screen sizes, which site owners will not necessarily realize since it may be okay on their screen sizes. Reproducible on http://twentyfifteendemo.wordpress.com/.

FWIW I'm still not a fan of this approach - going with something that also partially fixes the sidebar when it overflows would avoid this issue. If you're scrolled down the page when you run into this and the sidebar unfixes, it'll have to jump to the top, out of view.

To bring out the comments from our discussion in Slack onto the ticket, there are likely better solutions than "just not fixing the sidebar when there is a menu with submenus" but this solution _is_ a solution. It works.

"It's less than ideal, because in my mind there is a JS solution that would be perfect. But it's a good chunk of JS work. And we're running out of time." — @mark

Committing @mattwiebe's solution and closing the ticket.

In 30324:

Twenty Fifteen: unfix the sidebar if we have a menu with submenus as there is a chance visitors might not be able to scroll down to see submenus in some situations.

Props mattwiebe, fixes #30208.
