[2.0.10] Add mechanism to hide surfaces list

Hi, currently in base 2.0 there is no mechanism to hide surfaces list in remote view or at least I have not found it. There is no use of this list in our scenario and it takes up a lot of space pushing already heavy GUI to the middle of the screen. There is also "jail/gulag" surface exposed which looks comical, but for sure will be confusing to new players. Same with other options that are not used.
I request an API to toggle it off/on, for example LuaGameScript::show_surfaces_list(bool)

Hi,
You can hide surfaces per force using this LuaForce API:

Is it just me, or should this go in already implemented?

I wish this were a feature in vanilla. A simple button to collapse/expand the list would do it.

Definitely. Is there a mod that makes use of the API to do it yet? If not I'm thinking of making one...
