Show menus in titlebar doesn't work for GNOME Headerbars

Bug #1720555 reported by Jeremy Bícha

Bug Description

1. Change this setting

Unity System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Show the menus for a window > In the window's title bar

(This setting is sometimes known as "locally integrated menubars".)

2. Open an app with GNOME Headerbars that Ubuntu hasn't patched to remove the headerbar, such as Sudoku

What happens
============
The menu bar never shows up.

Suggestion #1
=============
Maybe Unity should implement the appmenu window button like is used in Ubuntu Budgie and is optionally available in GNOME Shell. To see the appmenu in Ubuntu 17.10+, use GNOME Tweaks to turn off Top Bar > Application Menu. You may want to log out and log back in.

That won't work well. Unity uses window button on left side. So where should appmenu go? It will be insane to move it right side.
