Description
So i was working on removing some playlists, without removing said playlists.
the easiest method ive found on other platforms was to simply archive the file. Poof, its not only gone - but its easily identifiable as such and its there and still in the directory to be backed up, or unarchived to be placed back in the list.
Oddly enough, when doing so in retroarch - it still picks up the playlist in the desktop menu UI. It just shows it with a blank folder and a bunch of garbled characters.
I'd like to think this is a easy fix to make it only show playlists that are using the lpl extension. (unless theres a reason that this isnt the case, then this is moot)

Research direction
The issue concerns playlist discovery and refresh in the Qt desktop menu UI, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the startup playlist scan and reproduce the behavior with an archived non-.lpl file. Done means archived files no longer appear as playlists while valid .lpl playlists still load correctly.
