Closes #530

Usage:

if (ImPlot::BeginPlot("My Plot", ImVec2(-1, 0), ImPlotFlags_NoCentralMenu))
{
    // Plot things before

    if (ImPlot::BeginCustomContext())
    {
        if (ImGui::MenuItem("My Custom Item")) doThing();
        ImPlot::EndCustomContext(true); // true = append standard menu
    }
    ImPlot::EndPlot();

    // Plot things after
}

This is the work of @PapaNaxos. I just packaged it and created the PR.

I originally made this comment on the associated issue, but maybe it's better to put here.

I do wonder if ImPlotFlags_NoCentralMenu is the most intuitive flag name or not...

Even though I wrote it, I don't find it particularly obvious that THAT flag is what is required to use a custom context menu 😅

Perhaps
ImPlotFlags_HasCustomContext
ImPlotFlags_UseCustomContext
ImPlotFlags_CustomContext
?
