[libreoffice-design] Cleaning up the default toolbars

Hi everyone,
Now that we want to bring a new icon scheme to LibreOffice and make large
icons the default, it'd be good to make the top toolbars a bit more compact
as well.
In particular, I was thinking we could condense the standard toolbar enough
to share a row with the formatting toolbar.

As a first step, I would propose to create a drop-down menu at the end of
the toolbar, similar to that in Google Chrome or elementary applications
[1]. This menu should hold all the items that we determine not to be
important enough to show all the time, but useful enough not to be hidden
by default. At the end of the menu, there should be a "Customize..." entry,
so that people who have gotten used to a certain button being shown all the
time can bring it back easily.

This menu should be easy enough to implement, I hope. If a developer wants
to do more, he could implement aligning toolbars to the right or
drag-and-drop for easy customization, but it's not a necessity right now.

What do you think?
