Parental Controls / "Family View" #1497

Check for existing issue https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/1415 has similar title but does not describe the functionality I'm looking for.

Describe the solution you'd like Something akin to the Family View in Steam whereby a parent can prevent access to certain games in the Playnite interface. This can be somewhat accomplished via the Hide or Filter features but does not require unique knowledge like a PIN code to bypass.

Simple implementation could be a whitelist, i.e. only games on the whitelist would be shown in the UI. Similar to Family View in Steam where the games have to be added to the Family category and those are the only ones visible by default. Critically viewing anything outside the whitelist would require a PIN code to be entered before being accessible.

Advanced implementation could be to rely on the game ratings to automatically filter out games higher than a certain rating, though of course this has "risks" as not all games are rated.
