Hiding custom recipes

[canercidam]

Easy feature to hide custom recipes from the recipes command while making them available from generate.

This allows us to temporarily hide any custom recipe until the experience stabilizes (currently using for buildernet/mkosi).

Clean, well-scoped PR. One issue to flag:

Hidden recipes can still be started via startCmd.RunE fallback (main.go:92-108)

The main() function at line 580-584 filters hidden recipes from Cobra subcommand registration, but the startCmd.RunE fallback at lines 92-108 loads custom recipes directly from GetEmbeddedCustomRecipes() without checking Hidden. This means playground start buildernet/mkosi would still work through this path.

If the intent is to only hide from listings/help text, this is fine but worth a comment. If hidden recipes should also be blocked from start, the fallback needs a hidden check too.

Everything else looks correct — the generate command properly bypasses the hidden flag, and the recipes listing properly filters hidden entries.
