Starting to deprecate the AdminViewModel

All references are changed to BaseViewModel
AdminViewModel class still present, but only temporarily as a stepping stone to smooth transition
BaseViewModel.Menu now represents either the "admin" or "main" navigation depending on location
MenuFilter now uses the AdminFilter.IsApplied flag to determine which primary nav to use
IsApplied property moved to AdminFilter which is a better location for a universal flag than the theme selector
