Address #1214, layer import produces wrong layer type. We needed a more principled approach to making sure the format gets updated properly and the dialog elements are consistent (basically separating making the dialog elements consistent from subsequently updating the format). This change should provide that, though there may be gotchas still.

/**

 * menus that may contain a very large or small number of named items
 * (e.g. plugins).
 *
 * The menu needs to be told, before any of the actions are added,
 * what the set of entry strings will be, so it can determine a
 * reasonable categorisation.  Do this by calling the setEntries()
 * method.  If it isn't practical to do this in advance, then add the
 * entries and call entriesAdded() afterwards instead.
