Plugin needs menu option to add New Page

[maddisondesigns]

Issue Overview

At the moment, the Gutenberg plugin provides the option to add a New Post. It doesn't provide the option to add a New Page though, even though you can edit a page in Gutenberg.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to add a new Page.

Current Behavior

I have to add a new Page using the existing Pages > Add New menu option. I then have to save as draft, browse browse back to the Dashboard and then re-edit the page using Gutenberg.

Possible Solution

Simply add a New Page option to the Gutenberg menu.

Plugin Version 0.7.1

I agree being explicit and adding 'new page' could be good for users.

I'd like to take this one on.

Added a PR. A couple of issues I have with it:

• Both subitems are bolded when one is active:
  
  I suspect that I need to distinguish the menu-slug attribute on the add_submenu_page calls, but trying that yields:
  
  And in both cases the entry is saved as a post.
• Ensuring that Gutenberg knows it is doing a page and not a post - haven't yet found out how

With bdf94e6 landing, we don't need this menu item anymore.

@pento Is this forcing Gutenberg to be the default editor when you click the Add New button on the Posts and Page screens? I really hope that's not the case. The Gutenberg plugin shouldn't be making itself the default editor. It's a plugin for a reason and shouldn't be changing the default editing experience. If this is the case, is there a Github issue you can link to that is discussing this?
