Places dropdown menu

The dropdown menu should only contain items that are marked visible in places panel.

Filtering them out should be trivial but in contrast to the places panel in the context menu there's no way to show all items should you need to.

For me it's not trivial to filter them yet :(
And yes, once in a week or so the need to see all items comes up. In that case I use the places panel and check "Show all entries".
Except for Home and Devices I've hidden all default panel entries, I have no need for them. 
The menu otoh now shows 2 Columns, although it should contain only 7-10 items. For everyday's work I clearly prefer a cleaner menu.

I think it's safe enough to assume that if a user has hidden a category in the Places panel, they don't want to see it elsewhere, either.

[KUrlNavigatorPlacesSelector] Put categories into submenus

Avoids letting the menu get huge. This is a straight port from Plasma's task manager 6effcdf11d1a64017593c5cef434b80122936854
Also hide hidden items.
