Not all release group types (e.g., Live EP) are interesting, but some are still present in the library and may be desirable in the future. Some mechanism of filtering needs to be made available to the user. It should use release group type and ownership status. Including space for future potential of WISH and DROP status.

Requirements/thoughts:

Include option for whether owned items should ignore the filter
Filter is inclusive not exclusive - that is an option must be selected to have corresponding items included in the collection
Blank is an option on its own
To implement this a separation needs to be created between the database on disk and the collection in memory. The filtering happens between these two.

Careful about parts of the code where collection is assumed to contain the complete database as these will have to fixed. E.g., when checking which albums are new during a fetch. These places can be easily located however. The TUI application does not keep the collection, but rather MH. All collection accesses can be found via get_collection calls.

Don't want to filter directly from database because some library items need to be merged with items that would be filtered out.
Having access to everything in the collection is necessary at times - mostly when fetching.

Solution: keep the entire collection as it is now, but whenever it is updated also create a filtered version. Use the filtered version for display and identifying selected items. Use the full collection to check existing contents in the database.

For now make the filter hard coded to blank, EP, album, and owned.

To make it future proof - contain it in an object that could be modified in the future.
