Add option to show hidden files

Pedro Hernandez requested to merge pehg/gwenview:194716-show-hidden-files into master

Currently, Gwenview does not list hidden files but it's capable of opening them from Dolphin. Once the file is open, using the arrow keys or changing the directory will lose access to the hidden file(s). This patch adds the feature to list hidden files following some of Dolphin's design choices.

Like Dolphin, the Show Hidden Files is a toggle menu item under the View menu, and is placed in the same section as Sort By sub-menu. Also, it uses the standard Show Hidden Files shortcut (Ctrl + H). The option is not active by default but it is persistent.

FEATURE: 194716
