Summary: doc pane context menu

Initial Comment:
When not in project mode, there is no context menu in
the current version of DrJava.  It shouldn't be too
tough to put it back.

Also, when in project mode, bringing up the context
menu doesn't change the selected document.  In the
first edition of the context menu, the active document
was changed by a right-click, so that the context menu
actions would apply to the document that was
right-clicked on.  While this is not always intuitive,
it is straightforward (and easy to program).  More
advanced context menus cause a right-click to
"quasi-select" the item that is right-clicked,
including some visual cue like an outline.  Context
menu actions are then applied to that item rather than
the current open document.  This is harder to
implement, but it'd be a bit nicer (esp. since in
DrJava, switching between large documents can be slow).

On a related note, the context menu should not be shown
(at least, not with the standard options) when a user
right-clicks on a folder in the tree view.
