Description

Menu admin screen currently lists all post types, canonical and shadow.

So if we have 4 languages active in a basic WP site, there will be 4x lists of 'Posts', 4x lists of 'Tags', 4x lists of Categories.

Possibly related to #92 ?

Research direction

Start at the WordPress Menu admin screen and trace how post types are collected for the menu UI. Reproduce the issue with four active languages, then verify that only canonical post types are listed and shadow post types no longer create duplicate Posts, Tags, or Categories lists.
