Allow "hide" attribute of tasks within a platform element like "windows", "linux", "osx" to effectively hide the task on the given platform

[capiro]

I'm looking for a way to hide a task from the UI when it doesn't make sense on a given operating system to uncluttered the UI.
The tasks.json already supports a "hide" element that can be set to true to hide the task from the UI.
However, when the "hide" element is inside a "windows", "linux" or "osx" element, it is ignored.
It seems allowing "hide" to be within the platform element would be an elegant way to hide tasks from OSs where it would not make sense to execute them.
