Description
Currently, if you enable the Embedded plugin for a project, it puts a link in the top nav regardless of whether any documentation exists or not.
If the documentation doesn't exist, then clicking on the link will give you an error page.
We want to enable the plugin for all projects by default, I think. This means that it should only show up in the nav bar if there is actually some documentation to see.

Hm, the difficulty with this is that the Embedded plugin stores nothing in the database -- it goes to the filesystem on each access (that's kind of the point, of course, but nothing about the existence of the data gets cached).
We don't want to be doing the filesystem check each time we render the nav bar, if we can possibly help it!
Perhaps it is better to leave it up to the project owner to enable or disable Embedded. Or, perhaps the daemon that extracts embedded documentation could enable Embedded via the WS API if the documentation extraction succeeds and it has never been extracted before -- then if the user subsequently switches it off, it stays switched off.
