Vertical Zooming changes

There have been some changes to Vertical Zooming.

We have introduced a context menu for the Vertical Scale. This is activated by right-clicking in the Vertical Scale - see Simple mode vertical zooming for details.

Left-click, and click&drag, in the Vertical Scale remain available as a user-selectable option - see Advanced mode vertical zooming for details.
You can turn on advanced mode for vertical zooming from Edit > Preferences > Tracks Behaviors and selecting Advanced Vertical Zooming.

The Extra menu, created from consolidating Ext-Bar and Ext-Command menus that were introduced in the previous 2.2.1 release.

In dark theme, the change in appearance of sliders when you hover over them is greater than before.
In light and dark themes, buttons such as 'pause' and 'pin' now highlight when you hover over them and they are down. Previously there was no visible change.
- The hover effect for buttons when they are up has been changed to work better in conjunction with this change.
