Exclude 'System' category for the settings submenu.

Hi,

(The xdg spec doesn't seem very clear on that, but I think the current situation might be a bit disturbing for the user. Feel free to close the bug if you disagree.)

Currently, when a desktop file contains Category="System;Settings;....", it will be duplicated and shown twice in the menu, once in 'Settings', and once in 'System'. 'Settings' is a separate menu _for_ the user (sort of control center), but desktop files containing 'System' and 'Settings' can launch system applications (probably not usable without admin rights), therefore a bit out of scope for the user settings menu.

So maybe the settings submenu should exclude the system category (see attached patch)?

Thanks!
