gui: macOS, make appMenuBar part of the main app window

By moving the appMenuBar destruction responsibility to the QT
framework, we ensure the disconnection of the submenus signals
prior to the destruction of the main app window.

The standalone menu bar may have served a purpose in earlier
versions when it didn't contain actions that directly open
specific screens within the main application window. However,
at present, all the actions within the appMenuBar lead to the
opening of screens within the main app window. So, the absence
of a main app window makes these actions essentially pointless.
