itch.io library extension's "import free games from collections" option could be improved #166

Feature description

I really appreciate the option to add games from itch collections to your library, but I feel like it could use a little bit of improvement.

I (and other itch users, I'm pretty sure) don't always use collections to set up quick library access to free games. Most of my collections I actually made for other people as a way to recommend games to them. As such, the library gets clogged up by free games that I don't intend to keep in the Playnite library. Maybe there could be the option to let the library extension pick and choose based on whether the collection is privated or visible on the user's itch profile page or something to streamline the import process a bit more.

Another problem I've stumbled upon is that the extension seems to interpret itch.io game pages without any downloadables as "free games". For example: She Dreams Elsewhere, a game that's still in development, is imported in my library from one of my collections despite there being no downloadable installer or demo on its itch page (which is largely used as a devlog until the game's full release).

Wrong repository, please read instructions from issue template carefully.

Sorry about putting it in the wrong repository. I got some wires crossed and thought that, with that specific library extension coming standard with Playnite, I had to post it over there. Now that I know better, I'll make sure it won't happen again in the future.
