Allow widgets that can be hidden to be visible by default

[jus]

We can show widgets by making up a <ConfigKey> and use <BindProperty>, but those widgets are hidden by default.
To make the our GUI more flexible, It would be very useful if we had a flag for use in skin.xml that allows specific widgets to be visible by default.

This is possible now using the skin manifest property section.

<attribute config_key="[Samplers],show_samplers">1</attribute>

This will come in handy, thanks for implementing. Added info in the wiki.

Tried this with Deere1280x1024-SXGA as of lp:mixxx/1.11 r3503 , and it does not work as expected. Samplers do not show up. Also tried with another config key to no avail:
<attribute config_key="Spinny1],show_spinny">1</attribute>

Relevant part of my manifest section in skin.xml
...
<attributes>
    <attribute config_key="[Master],num_decks">2</attribute>
    <attribute config_key="[Master],num_samplers">4</attribute>
    <attribute config_key="[Samplers],show_samplers">1</attribute>
</attributes>
....

Did i apply your example from #1 wrong or is this feature broken? At least you did change a bunch of skin related code after committing, so this might be defunct.

Nope .. I just didn't think it through. There was one extra thing required
and it'd added in lp:mixxx/1.11 r3517.
