New Tracker Context Menu (right-click)

Bug description

So the context menu for the tracker doesn't show in a lot of places, like the tracker header, zone header, or any "whitespace" behind the quests. Basically it only works exactly over the quest frames, which are limited to the text.

What should happen is the context menu is on the base frame (so opens anywhere on the tracker), but the quests have their additional options added to the menu when their frames are clicked. Also the quest frames should probably span their "line".

As we talked about on Discord... the "Right-Click" context menus are currently limited to only Quests and thus the features/functions are pretty much Quest specific; so, they can only appear while right clicking a quest.

Not sure where I stated/summarized it... I thought I had a Feature Request Issue open assigned to me outlining a new Right-Click menu... can't seem to find it. Eventually, when we move Questie Config away from ACE and the redesign is complete... I'm going to move a LOT of those settings into a "General" right click menu with a ton of new filter options and toggles to declutter that Settings Tracker section.

I have most of the code written and haven't had much time lately to work on it but one of the challenges I'm facing is that when the Tracker is in Auto Resize mode the amount of White Space available around Header, Zone, and Quest Titles plus Quest Descriptions is almost nothing. It would be harder for a player to evoke the "General" menu that will contain all the new settings.

One solution is to just simply add a new section below the Quest Specific options, so it won't really matter where the player clicks but that'll make the menu list very long and I'm not inclined to go that route because I'd like to keep the Context Menus small.

Another option is to evoke it both via "White" space, for those that set their Trackers width and height manually... like you have in your screen shot, and from the Sizer nub. This is the route I was planning on going. That way it can be easily evoked in both Manual and Auto resize modes.
