This avoids having to go through the FileChooser when re-opening recently used projects.

The (10) most recent projects are persisted in a setting and shown in the ProjectChooserButton listbox under a separate header. Closed projects are shown with the most recently used first. The filter works on both open and closed projects

At the moment it is assumed that the projects continue to exist. If it doesn't the menu remains open and no warning is given (except in the CLI)

Since Projects is going to be an XDG standard dir, why don't we just list all toplevel folders there instead of having a setting?
