Bug Description

At the moment in site options one can set if they want drop-down navigation for setting the main menu tabs as drop down

it would be good if this functionality could be overridden at an institutional level so that Institution A has drop-down navigation but Institution B doesn't when using the same theme.

Also could have the user then override the institution's option if $cfg->sitethemeprefs = true; allowing them to choose whether they want drop-down navigation or not.

Currently one can choose their own personal setting but can pick from what site/institutional settings are allowed to them.

To test possible scenarios of options please see the attached matrix file.

If you think of a scenario not listed please mention it here

Drop-down navigation overridden at institutional level (Bug #1194672)

Create the ability for Institutions to override the site default for
displaying drop-down navigation instead of tabs for main menu.

Can now: Set drop-down navigation option on Administer institutions
screen /admin/users/institutions.php

Users who are in more than one institution will have drop-down setting
of the institution whose theme they are using as their theme.

If $cfg->sitethemeprefs = true, where a user can pick any theme then
for those themes associated with an institution they will use the
institution's setting otherwise they will use the site's setting for
drop-down navigation.

Can not do: Have user make their own choice for whether they see drop
down or not for any particular theme
