Description

@claell

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there are four different buttons, all related to adding a new entry. This is confusing for newcomers, especially as their functionality is in some cases heavily overlapping. Also, that helps to save some space on low resolutions.

CC #8295 (comment) and https://discourse.jabref.org/t/ui-priority-what-should-be-in-the-toolbar/3039/10 for that, which inspired me to create this issue.

Describe the solution you'd like
Merge buttons, don't duplicate functionality there.
