Re-implementation of the message context menu

[weeman1337]

Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

As far as I understood the "new menu component" is in use for the "click your name" menu. The message menu uses an older implementation that behaves differently.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Use the new menu components for the message context menu.
• As mentioned in #element-web:matrix.org the new menus also contain icons. So these have to be figured out before.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

• Based on messages #element-web:matrix.org from today
• Replaces Highlight hovered items in context/popup menus #16178

Icons

See PR matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#5671

I would like to implement that. But I require the icons before. Is there any icon library where the Element icons are taken from?

[t3chguy]

Most of element's icons are modified from feather https://feathericons.com/ but quite a lot of drawn by the design team too.

Update: I have added icon suggestions to the description.

A while ago, I made this PR. I am happy to reimplement it when this gets fixed, but I thought I'd mention it here

@weeman1337, I think since you have some icons, you can start working on this if you want. It shouldn't be a problem to change the icons when the PR is ready if the design team wants that. If you don't want to, would you mind if worked on this? I'd like to see #16480 fixed but we first need to fix this...

@SimonBrandner true. I've already started working on this one. Expect a PR within the next days.
