launcher-menu: showAllApps lists all programs without Developer Mode

Without Steam's Developer Mode the "+" menu hides konsole, systemsettings,
dolphin, plasma-discover, vlc and a few more by executable name. The patch
empties only that list's iterator, leaving the setting itself untouched.

+- `showAllApps = true`: without Steam's Developer Mode, the menu hides a
+  fixed list of programs by executable name (`konsole`, `systemsettings`,
+  `dolphin`, `plasma-discover`, `vlc`, `firewall-config`, `cmake-gui`,
+  `qrenderdoc`, `lxterminal`, `sh`); Steam's scan still finds them. The
+  menu's filter adds that list to its block list only when Developer Mode
+  is off (`bDevMode || block.push(...list)`), and nothing else uses the list,
+  so the patch gives that one array an empty iterator: nothing is added,
+  the setting itself (used by other settings pages) is untouched. So
+  Developer Mode can stay off: it also turns on sshd, xrdp, the devkit
+  service and SteamOS's LAN forwards of the DevTools ports (0.0.0.0:8081 and
+  8088), none of which the patches need. Hide single programs with
+  `steamFrame.hiddenApps`. Found by signature (webpack module with the
+  `developer_mode_enabled` accessor and the list); the offline checker also
+  verifies the filter still spreads the list.
+
 All are reverted when the options are turned off (next switch). These
 patches use Steam APIs (`SteamClient.Apps`), React props and CSS rather
 than webpack modules; the offline checker verifies those anchors too
