This works as expected and is a good improvement to the site editor. My only concern is that we also need to keep the site editor v2 in sync with these changes.

What?
Closes #66367
Part of #75920
Allows adding links from the Site Editor Navigation List View. This functionality already exists in the Sidebar Inspector for the Navigation Block in canvas.
Why?
The site editor navigation experience is quite lacking. Only allowing reordering and deleting items. We should allow adding links here as well.
How?
Export NavigationLinkUI as a private API and utilize it within the site editor sidebar. I also added e2e tests for the flow.
Testing Instructions
npm run test:e2e test/e2e/specs/site-editor/navigation-sidebar-list-view.spec.jsFirst, Navigate to the Site Editor for a navigation menu
Add an existing page/URL:
2. Click the "Add page" appender button at the bottom of the list.
3. Confirm the link search input opens and is immediately focused.
4. Type a partial page title — confirm search results appear.
5. Select a result — confirm the new item appears in the list view.
Dismiss without saving:
returns correctly to the appender
Create a new page:
Regression — existing behavior unchanged:
