PyQt6: Missing QAction.setMenu or equivalent

[RoadrunnerWMC]

That'd work in that particular case, but it's still a problem that there's
(as far as I know) no way to implement the following common pattern in
PyQt6:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
>

> app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
> main_window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
>

> recent_menu = QtWidgets.QMenu()
> recent_menu.addAction('foo.py')

recent_menu.addAction('bar.txt')

recent_menu.addAction('baz.png')


> menu = main_window.menuBar().addMenu('&File')
> menu.addAction('Open...')
> menu.addAction('Open Recent').setMenu(recent_menu)

menu.addAction('Save')
> menu.addAction('Save As...')
>

> main_window.show()
> app.exec_()
