improve discoverability of Guideline editor

Bug Description

I think it would be nice if the dialog to edit the
position of a guideline was available not only on
double-click of the guideline, but also on right
click.
I needed that and I inspected various menus and
dialogs to find it without success. I had to ask on
#inkscape to find the solution. If it was in the
right-click menu I would have find it on my first
try. I think other users might be in the same
position.
Thakn you.

removed from summary, and rephrased

all features must be available without requiring right click
(think pen users, also accessibility)
also making the feature available in a context menu is fine
but it cannot be the only way of doing something, and in
fact the inability to find anything suitable in a real big
part of the problem here

I submitted another request which may be of interest, for
various guides functionality such as adding guides at
specified positions and clearing all guides

I never said I wanted to remove the double click access to the dialog,
but having it also on the context menu would have helped.
I made a comment on the other ticket to include what I asked for here
and a bit more.
