** Description:      Highly flexible Menu class. Reads a plaintext
**                   file or takes a vector of strings and allows
**                   user to print the menu, prompt for input, and
**                   validate input without having to modify anything
**                   inside this class.
** Input:            Call with 'Menu menu_name("filename");' to
**                   instantiate with a file, or pass in a vector
**                   of strings.
** Output:           Can print menu, prompt the user, and validate
**                   input dynamically even if new items are added
**                   later at runtime or after a file/vector is read
