Make the Custom Navbar/Footer in Pro Template work in Multi-Site Installs

Beginne damit, die benutzerdefinierten Definitionen von Navbar und Footer in models.py sowie die Rendering-Funktionen in website_tags.py zu überprüfen, und sieh dir anschließend die vorhandenen pro-Template-Tests und die Dokumentation an. Lege fest, wie standortspezifische Ergebnisse und vorhandene nicht zugewiesene Instanzen sich verhalten sollen, füge die erforderliche Migration und Testabdeckung hinzu und aktualisiere die Dokumentation, sobald die Multi-Site-Komponenten korrekt gerendert werden, ohne bestehende Installationen zu beeinträchtigen.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We receently implemented WagtailCRX, and noticed that wagtail's Navbar and Footer models in the basic template work in multi-site installations, but the custom Navbar and Footer models in the pro template do not (though you could fall back to wagtail's default models with CRX_DISABLE_NAVBAR = False and CRX_DISABLE_FOOTER = False).

Describe the solution you'd like

We implemented the following in our site, which allows us to use custom Navbar(s) and Footer(s) in our multi-site install. Because nulls are allowed, it won't cause errors on existing installs. In existing installs, though, the template tags as implemented below would cause the components to not be rendered (existing model instances would not associated with any site initially). To resolve this, we could:

• Modify the template tags to check for a setting before implementing their site checks so it won't disappear the navbars and footers in existing projects (falling back to current functionality if CRX_USE_SITE_FIELD=False for example)
• Or, just set the template tags to fall back to showing all Navbar(s) and Footer(s) if there are no site-specific results

Would a PR to update the pro template (and add relevant tests & updates to docs) be of interest? Any additional thoughts/recommendations?

This proposal would also resolve #673
