Coding and accessibility for theme and topic menu

Use the theme and topic menu with other components

Add the theme and topic menu directly to the header component by passing a child element with the slot="menu" attribute in the header. This will place the theme and topic menu in the header after the language toggle, signature, and search slots.

Note: If applying the theme and topic menu to the front page of Canada.ca, use the home attribute to render with the correct styling.
