Add "Hidden" key to index.theme

newhoa requested to merge newhoa/adwaita-icon-theme:index-hidden into master

The FreeDesktop.org Icon Theme Spec provides this "Hidden" key for icon themes that are not meant to be selectable by the user.

Since adwaita-icon-theme is private/internal for Gnome core apps, setting this key will hide it as a selectable theme in other desktop environments.

From FD.O:

Hidden: Whether to hide the theme in a theme selection user interface. This is used for things such as fallback-themes that are not supposed to be visible to the user.

This should not affect the ability for apps or toolkits to use it, and it will still be used by themes that list it under the "Inherits" key. It should only hide it from the theme selection dialogs in desktop environments (if they have support for the key). This is the same key hicolor uses to hide itself.
