Running `global-flycheck-mode` errors if no "Tools" menu on startup about flycheck HOT 3 OPEN

For reference, there were a couple other packages that use easy-menu that had configuration to disable their menus

(setq yas-use-menu nil)
(setq projectile-show-menu nil)

I looked at this issue today, but solving it is a bit trickier than I thought. The main issue is that the menu is added at load-time, which means any config option will have effect only before Flycheck is loaded, which is usually quick confusing for the users. See https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck/blob/master/flycheck.el#L1233

I'm thinking the best solution might be to just suppress errors there, or check for the existence of the parent menu if I manage to find a function that does this.

There's a function named easy-menu-item-present-p that seems to do what we need, but I can't figure out how to use it. Sadly it's documentation is a bit on the spartan side and I couldn't find a single usage of this function anywhere. :(
