interface MenuLinkManagerInterface in Drupal 8

Defines an interface for managing menu links and storing their definitions.

Menu link managers support both automatic plugin definition discovery and manually maintaining plugin definitions.

MenuLinkManagerInterface::updateDefinition() can be used to update a single menu link's definition and pass this onto the menu storage without requiring a full MenuLinkManagerInterface::rebuild().

Implementations that do not use automatic discovery should call MenuLinkManagerInterface::addDefinition() or MenuLinkManagerInterface::removeDefinition() when they add or remove links, and MenuLinkManagerInterface::updateDefinition() to update links they have already defined.
