Since the hook approach interferes with main menu event logging we should build the menu similar to how we add the nearby link if and only if available.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/197998 does this for Gather
A separate patch would be needed for Wikigrok
This way Gather and other extensions do not need to know anything about how MobileFrontend works and the main menu does not have to become a dumping ground.

Kill onPersonalTools hook as this is being removed on MF
Max and I don't really agree with the approach here. Let's figure out a better solution for the future.

Delegate main menu generation to MobileFrontend

To be resolved at another time...
Change 199159 abandoned by Jdlrobson:
Kill onPersonalTools hook as this is being removed on MF
Reason:
Resolve later. Seems we have to convince all MF 2ers - mobile-l discussion for a later time.
