***
kate cannot access hidden dirs or hidden files in home dir.
The cause is that kate does not have the `personal-files` connection defined.
The home connection only allow access to non-hidden paths.
kate should be able to access hidden files on demands.
Otherwise we cannot use it as main editor since it is quite often we need to
open the dot files and files in dot folders in the home directory.
I think we should at least add `personal-files` connection but default to false
then users can decide to turn it on.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. try to open .bashrc
OBSERVED RESULT
the file cannot be open due to permission is restricted.
EXPECTED RESULT
kate should be able to access hidden files.
Otherwise we cannot use it as main editor since it is quite often we need to
open the dot files and files in dot folders in the home directory.
