There is already code for that in Texinfo::Transformations, new_master_menu
creates a detailmenu, and regenerate_master_menu regenerate the Top node
master menu, replacing the first detailmenu in Top node menus or
appending at the end of the Top node menu. This is used in the
regenerate_master_menu tree transformation.
They could be moved to Common.pm and be used in
Texinfo/Convert/Plaintext.pm and/or Texinfo/Convert/Info.pm. They may
also be changed not to directly modify the top node but returns a tree.
