New Collection menu should be configurable

[N0rbert]

Expected behaviour

Mozo, dconf or gsettings should allow user to disable or enable Collection menu.

Actual behaviour

New Collection menu seems to be hard-coded. Mozo, dconf or gsettings know nothing about it.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Install Ubuntu MATE 21.10 daily

MATE general version

1.24.1

Package version

1.26.0-0ubuntu1

Linux Distribution

Ubuntu MATE 21.10

Programmatic way to disable was first introduced in this comment, may be adapted to the following:

mkdir -p /home/$USER/.local/share/desktop-directories/
cat <<EOF > /home/$USER/.local/share/desktop-directories/mate-collection.directory
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Collection
Comment=The most frequently used shortcuts
Icon=starred
Type=Directory
NoDisplay=true
EOF

then reboot.

But it is not user-friendly and not expected at all.
