Move Switchboard to Tools

Move Switchboard to Tools Menu relocates the entire WPSwitchboard menu and all its submenus under the WordPress Tools menu. This reduces main menu clutter and groups Switchboard with other utility functions. Particularly useful if you have many plugins adding menus and want to clean up the sidebar. The functionality remains the same, just accessed through Tools instead of a top-level menu.
