Description

How to add links to my own routes and templates (which are not keystone lists) in the admin UI for 4.0 beta version (as was possible in the previous versions by adding an object in keystone.set("nav", {}))?

Research direction
Investigate how custom nav links were added in Keystone Classic pre 4.0 using the `keystone.set('nav', ...)` method. For Keystone 4.0 beta, check the admin UI documentation or source code in `admin/` to see if there is an equivalent API or configuration to add custom routes and templates. The issue body references the previous approach; look at the Keystone 4.0 release notes or migration guide for changes to navigation configuration.
