Dan Williams c595016047 Remove unused Reset buttons from various dialogs
These dialogs hide the standard Reset button that SfxTabDialogController
adds to dialogs. Instead of doing that, let's just not create a button
that has to be hidden in the first place.

Dialogs can be accessed via:

New Base doc -> Edit -> Database -> Advanced Settings...
New Base doc -> Tools -> User Administration...
New Base doc -> Edit -> Database -> Properties...
New <any> doc -> Export as... -> Export as PDF...
New Writer doc -> Insert -> Footnote and Endnote -> Footnote
  then right-click in the footnote area -> Footnote/Endnote Settings...

LibreOffice Filters

Filter registration and some simple filters (also descriptions).

Desperate splitting of code into small shared libraries for historical reasons presumably (OS/2 and Windows 3.x). The libraries produced from the code in each subdirectory of filter/source/graphicfilter are graphic format import or export filters. But they don't have uniform API. Some have either a GraphicImport or GraphicExport entry point, and are loaded and used in a uniform fashion from code in svtools/source/filter/filter.cxx. Others have different API and are loaded from other places. For instance icgm has ImportCGM, and is loaded and used by sd/source/filter/cgm/sdcgmfilter.cxx (!). Svgreader is used for "File -> Open" and then to choose the svg file. For "Insert -> Picture -> From File", see svgio/source/svgreader directory.

Filter Configuration

The filter configuration consists of two parts, the type definition in filter/source/config/fragments/types/ and the actual filter definition in filter/source/config/fragments/filters/.

Each file type e.g. text file should be represented by exactly one type definition. This type can then be referenced by several different filters, e.g. calc text, writer text.
