Menu higlights different item then side that is shown.

Premium menus have a problem with highlighting the item based on which view is shown.

As long you use the menu for navigation everything works fine. I guess cause they store the expanded items in the cookies.

But if you access a subsite directly by typing URL in browser or through a different link (outside the menu) it will not reflect this change.

Reproduce - Freya showcase

1. Visit https://freya.primefaces.org/
2. Click Menu "UI-Kit" -> "Form-Layout" to navigate to this page. The menu path to "Form-Layout" is highlighted.
3. Type https://freya.primefaces.org/input.xhtml in the URL.

Still the menu path to "Form-Layout" is highlighted.

Wished behavior

I am not sure what the cookie freya_expandeditems is really doing. But i guess it keeps the expanded items state. Usefull in case multiple expanded menues shall be keept expanded across page navigation.
Is there another use case?

Else the currently selected highlighted menu item should reflect the page URL instead. On duplicate entries the cookie entry could win if only one is allowed to be expanded.

Yep it looks like a bug that the menu change is triggered on that menu click not on page load. So clicking the link sets the new cookie value but just loading the bookmarked URL does not.
