[Feature Request] [VMenu] Ability to open the menu with a right-click event

Problem to solve

Currently the VMenu component can be opened either with a click-event (default) or on hover (configurable via a prop). A common use case (especially for large or "enterprise-class" applications) is to have a custom context menu which is invoked via a right-click. As things stand today, VMenu does not handle this out of the box.

Proposed solution

Create a new prop to VMenu called open-on-right-click or open-on-contextmenu (with a default value of false) which would behave the same as open-on-hover and open-on-click.

This would also involve updating the ClickOutside directive to handle both the onclick as well as the oncontextmenu events.
