Place power port dialog does not filter out libraries that does not contain power flag symbols

[Oivind Toien]

In all the nightlies I have tested (starting testing at least from mid October), including the December 5th nightly, the non-power port symbol libraries are not filtered out from the list after clicking on the insert power port icon, so that one has to scroll way down to find the power library.The only filtering taking place is apparently on the symbols themselves, as non-power port libraries do not have a + in front of them and cannot be opened. When clicking on the power port icon in version 4.07, only the power library would show up in the list. The filtering out of non-power port libraries from the list should brought brought back, otherwise it is not a point to have a separate icon for the power ports.

(It does not make it easier to scroll down to find the power library in that the window displaying the symbol library list is pretty small. In general it would be better if it was bigger, allow the bottom previews to be smaller, and in addition remember the resizing settings).

That was fast! Thanks a lot, I can confirm that the fix works as intended with the last unsigned Windows nightly, only libraries with powerflags show up now.
