40104	Customizer: Improve menu creation flow	melchoyce	westonruter	"I consistently see in usability tests and on WordPress.com support that folks run into two issues when they create new menus:

1. They click ""Add a Menu"" thinking it will add a new '''page''' to their menu. 
2. They forget to assign their new menu to a location, and then wonder why it doesn't show up on their site.

To address these issues, I've been working with some folks on an improved flow to guide people through creating a new menu:

- If you visit the menu panel before you have a menu, hide ""Locations"" and only show a prompt to create a new menu.
- When you click ""Create new menu,"" open a temporary, interstitial panel with a prompt to name your menu and pick a location to add it to. You'll only see this screen when you make a new menu.
- On the next screen, you'll see friendly instructions prompting you to add pages to your new menu. You can also still change your menu location and choose to auto-add new pages.
- When you return to Menus after you have at least one menu, you'll see Menu Locations as well.
- The copy in Menu Locations has been adjusted to be friendlier and more helpful, including links to the Widgets panel and to any documentation we might have on the Custom Menu widget. (I couldn't seem to find anything in the Codex? Maybe we should write some.)

Props to @zoonini for working through this improved flow with me, and @michelleweber for the friendly and informative new copy."	enhancement	closed	high	4.9	Customize	4.3	normal	fixed	has-dev-note		ui, administration
