Adjust date and hours (time) --- Define the format of hours (time) --- Configurate digital clock --- Show [clock] alternatives

There are 4 clock related options, there must be a way of making this more elegant.
Or at least a way of figuring out which is which other than having the user open one-by-one to figure it out.

Also notice how 3 of these options sounds like they have the exact same meaning.

Yeah there's a lot here. I've had the same thought.

applets/digitalclock: reduce number of context menu configure actions

Right now there are three:

- Adjust Date and Time…
- Set Time Format…
- Configure Digital Clock…

They're all very similar, and to some people might even sound the same.
Hard to figure out what specifically they refer to, reducing the ability
to quickly parse the menu.

In addition, the first two aren't even needed: links to these KCMs are
present via buttons on the config window you access with the third one.

Accordingly, remove the first two items.
FIXED-IN: 6.4.0
