Currently the Filter Toolbar has, specially on big screens, a relative large
amount of empty space. Also, there is no way to do save often used filters
except by going down the Filter Expression dropbox and find it. This patch adds
the capability to save an expression into a toolbar button, making is easy(ier)
to perform favourite or often used expressions.

The process is like this:
- User selects or enters a Filter Expresson and the Save button enables.
- User clicks Save button, gets a dialogbox to enter the title or label of the
expression.
- When the title or label is unique, the button gets created right of the Save
button.
- When button is clicked, the expression gets put in the Filter Expression and
applied.

To option to edit, remove or save these buttons is in a new Preferences tab
called Filter Expressions.
