  [FFe/UIFe] Unity launcher gets cluttered when having multiple

Bug description:
  Having a multi-boot system, multiple partitions, USB keys, SD cards
  and external hard drives makes Unity launcher cluttered very quick
  (see screenshot).

  To resolve this issue the following changes are required:

  1) It should be possible to remove specific file system icons from the
  Launcher by un-checking the “Unlock from Launcher” option (or dragging
  to the trash).

  2) In the case of non-removable file systems, the system should
  remember these settings so that rebooting will not return these icons
  to the Launcher.

  3) In the case of removable file systems (USB keys, SD cards, etc...),
  if a removable file system is removed and then re-attached it should
  re-appear in the Launcher.  If the removable file system is not
  removed and the user has removed it's icon from the Launcher, the icon
  should not return to the Launcher even if the computer is re-booted.

  4) All 'specific file system' icons that the user has removed from the
  Launcher should be displayed in the Dash file Lens in the “Favourite
  Folders/Folders” category.  This allows the user to re-add these icons
  to the Launcher at a later date.
