add missing "don't display folio" option in Pages tab #150

Some pages have numbers, such as the first in chapters, or titles, but they are not printed.

Currently PPQT doesn't have an option to reflect that, and the workaround is to set that page to "no folio" and then "set to n" the next page.

I'd like to have a single option "no display" to mean that the folio is numbered, but the number is simply not printed.

I'm not sure I see a point. The only place visibility matters is on the "Insert" operation of the Pages panel. So this would be a rule of "add 1, but skip it in the insert step" -- I guess?

But "Insert" really only matters to the HTML version, where the folio is typically in the window margin (or not shown at all but still used as a link anchor). I don't see the point of omitting the HTML code for a folio when it is known. The editor of the printed book didn't put a folio on a chapter title page, but why omit it from the HTML?

Closing because, I repeat, I don't see the point. You do not need to work around this. Just leave the action as "+1" because who cares if the page was not printed in the original? What matters is what shows up in the HTML, and you want the page number in the margin of the HTML, even if it wasn't printed.
