[FEATURE] Support for 'App Hider' extension (or your own implementation) #133

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. GNOME's built in app list doesn't contain a convenient way of hiding applications from it, other than finding and removing the .desktop files, which is complicated, and might result in losing important launch arguments that were in the desktop file. The extension 'App Hider' allows you to hide apps from the vanilla GNOME application list, and also individually toggle whether each hidden app appears in the search. This feature is also really useful, as sometimes apps aren't important enough to be in the app list, but are useful to find if you explicitly search for them.

Describe the solution you'd like Either adding compatibility to read App Hider's hidden applications list, or building this functionality into V-Shell would be awesome.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered turning off V-Shell's override for the app list, but I like how much larger I can make the list when I use V-Shell's override. I've also considered just putting all of the apps I don't want into a folder, but that would still let them be found in search, and would take up space in my menu, and my brain doesn't like that.

Seems like App Hider can work when enabled after V-Shell (which should be the case always in GS 46 and at least after screen locking/unlocking in older versions).
