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!

Reassigning to garcon as the menu file moved there, but I don't have a very strong opinion on that particular issue, so feel free to do whatever you want. ;-)
