[UI] Simplify filters and categories

[veryprofessionaldodo]

Simplified the filters and categories logic, because I think it's significantly simpler to select the filters we actively want over de-selecting those we don't want. This will also work make gamepad navigation even simpler.

An example use case, since I use a Mac I might want to filter by only Mac games. Previously, to do that I would have to de-select "Windows" and "Browser". Now I can just select Mac. If I do want multiple filters it is more work to select them, but since they're filters, I think most people would prefer to be more restrictive by default. The same thinking applies to Categories as well :)

Here's a video of it in action, I didn't capture the categories but it's exactly the same logi:

Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:

• Tested the feature and it's working on a current and clean install.
• Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
• Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
• Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)

I think changes like this should be discussed first on discord before you change how some feature works, we have a UX channel to talk about these things.

I'm not sure I see the benefit of this change, and now the only option is not there so if I want to select a single category after having 4 selected I have to unselect the other 3 (or even the other 4 if the one I want is not one of those)

Apologies, wasn't sure about the UX channel, is this something on Discord?
