Custom UI elements support in SDK

There's now an official way how to add custom UI elements into views. This still requires some support from themes, but it's less prone to errors and way easier to be implemented then previously. Theme's can now also more easily reference plugin settings.

Filter presets

You can now save and load filter presets. You can also optionally save sorting and grouping settings in the filter. This also replaces "quick filter" previously present in Fullscreen mode.

Top bar rework

I've made several enhancements to the top bar:

• You can now show separate buttons for filtering and grouping settings.
• You can add button to quickly switch filter presets.
• Plugins can now add buttons to the panel. For example current "Steam Friends" button will be now implemented as a separate plugin.

Fullscreen enhancements

A lot of changes and improvements have been made to Fullscreen mode:

• I've made a lot of under the hood changes to make everything more reliable.
• Sound support for navigation feedback and background music.
• Old "quick filters" have been replaced with previously mentioned filter presets. Which are fully configurable in Fullscreen mode.
• Support for custom mouse cursor.
• A lot of new options.
