    /**
     * Encode a menu tree as link items and capture any cacheability metadata.
     *
     * This method recursively traverses the given menu tree to produce a flat
     * array of link items encoded according the application/linkset+json
     * media type.
     *
     * To preserve hierarchical information, the target attribute contains a
     * `hierarchy` member. Its value is an array containing the position of a link
     * within a particular sub-tree prepended by the positions of its ancestors,
     * and can be used to reconstruct a hierarchical data structure.
     *
     * The reason that a `hierarchy` member is used instead of a `parent` or
     * `children` member is because it is more compact, more suited to the linkset
     * media type, and because it simplifies many menu operations. Specifically:
     *
     * 1. Creating a `parent` member would require each link to have an `id`
     *    in order to have something referenceable by the `parent` member. Reusing
     *    the link plugin IDs would not be viable because it would leak
     *    information about which modules are installed on the site. Therefore,
     *    this ID would have to be invented and would probably end up looking a
     *    lot like the `hierarchy` value. Finally, link IDs would encourage
     *    clients to hardcode the ID instead of using link relation types
     *    appropriately.
     * 2. The linkset media type is not itself hierarchical. This means that
     *    `children` is infeasible without inventing our own Drupal-specific media
     *    type.
     * 3. The `hierarchy` member can be used to efficiently perform tree
     *    operations that would otherwise be more complicated to implement. For
     *    example, by comparing the first X amount of hierarchy levels, you can
     *    find any subtree without writing recursive logic or complicated loops.
     *    Visit the URL below for more examples.
     *
     * The structure of a `hierarchy` value is defined below.
     *
     * A link which is a child of another link will always be prefixed by the
     * exact value of their parent's hierarchy member. For example, if a link /bar
     * is a child of a link /foo and /foo has a hierarchy member with the value
     * ["1"], then the link /bar might have a hierarchy member with the value
     * ["1", "0"]. The link /foo can be said to have depth 1, while the link
     * /bar can be said to have depth 2.
     *
     * Links which have the same parent (or no parent) have their relative order
     * preserved in the final component of the hierarchy value.
     *
     * According to the Linkset specification, each value in the hierarchy array
     * must be a string. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpapi-linkset-08#section-4.2.4.3
     *

     *   A tree of menu elements.
     * @param \Drupal\Core\Cache\RefinableCacheableDependencyInterface $cacheability
