Expose debugging menu in production app #78

The debug menu is currently only visible in development, but could absolutely be useful for end-users especially once they start trying out things like writing their own plugins (see #75).

           if (process.env.DEBUGMENU) { 
        
             menuTemplate.push({ 
        
               label: "Debug", 
        
               submenu: [ 
        
                 { 
        
                   label: "Open DevTools", 
        
                   click() { 
        
                     BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow().webContents.openDevTools(); 
        
                   }, 
        
                 }, 
        
                 { 
        
                   label: "Show Server Log", 
        
                   click() {

One way to do this could be with a File -> Debug -> [ ] Enable debug menu checkbox menu item. Or maybe a button on the About dialog?
