Reduce the libraries visible in the library pane in the default template

[BFH-ktt1]

Currently all build-in libraries (except for the HDL-IP library that is kept for backward-compatibility) are enabled in the default template. For most use-cases only a sub-set are used.

I would like to reduce the libraries in the default template to:

• Wiring
• Gates
• Plexers
• Memory
• Input/Output

All in favor please put a :+1: , all against a :-1:

Mind explaining why you want this change?

Personally, I don't have a problem that all libraries are shown by default. This ensures discoverability of all components offered by Logisim-evolution. However, I can understand the wish to reduce the default set shown to user's after first installation, as it makes sense from a didactic point to reduce the choice to a subset, which is recommended for "modern" digital design. Also, we can thus hide libraries, which contain components we consider as outdated/deprecated.

The issue I see is that the dialogue for selecting the visible libraries is currently a bit hidden in the menus. I would be good if it would be part of some sutable tab of the main preferences window.

Is this included in 3.7.0? If yes, please close, otherwise please set 3.8.0 milestone.

@MarcinOrlowski , this DnD is still open, v3.7.0 still contains the old template with all (except from VHDL-IP) libraries enabled.
