Description

Our context menus all over the product (but particularly in the analysis views) are getting very long. Some of these items should just be migrated to hamburger menus (CC Vector35/binaryninja#920), but others just need their IsValid handler to be scoped more appropriately.

Also, CC Vector35/binaryninja#542 for ensuring all of these things can be done via the Command Palette as well.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the IsValid handlers for context-menu actions, particularly those used in analysis views, and read the linked issues #920 and #542 for related direction. Done means the affected actions have appropriately scoped validity handling, with hamburger-menu migration and Command Palette coverage considered where applicable.
