UI: add parenting (Keep Transform Without Inverse) to menu #105301

Since db6287873c, we added parenting (Keep Transform Without Inverse)
to the parent_set operator and exposed this in the UI in the invoke menu
of that operator.

This however never made it to the Object > Parent menu.

Since this is quite useful (and otherwise a bit hidden in the Adjust
Last Operation panel) and parent inverse can cause confusion in many
cases (see e.g. #105276 or #103969), now add this as an explicit entry
in the Object > Parent menu as well.

NOTE: arguably we could unify the entries in the invoke menu and the
Object > Parent menu as well since these are both different:

invoke calls this
-- Set Parent to > Object (Without Inverse)
-- Set Parent to > Object (Keep Transform Without Inverse)
Object > Parent menu
-- Make Parent without Inverse
-- Make Parent without Inverse (Keep Transform)

Since db6287873cd2, we added parenting (Keep Transform Without Inverse) to the parent_set operator and exposed this in the UI in the invoke menu of that operator. This however never made it to the `Object` > `Parent` menu. Since this is quite useful (and otherwise a bit hidden in the Adjust Last Operation panel) and parent inverse can cause confusion in many cases (see e.g. #105276 or #103969), now add this as an explicit entry in the `Object` > `Parent` menu as well. NOTE: arguably we could unify the entries in the invoke menu and the `Object` > `Parent` menu as well since these are both different: - invoke calls this -- Set Parent to > Object (Without Inverse) -- Set Parent to > Object (Keep Transform Without Inverse) - `Object` > `Parent` menu -- Make Parent without Inverse -- Make Parent without Inverse (Keep Transform)

Thanks Philipp!

NOTE: arguably we could unify the entries in the invoke menu and the
Object > Parent menu as well since these are both different:

Good find, and yes, I think it would be nice to have those uniform. Not for this patch though ;-)
