Enhancement: Add items to manifest

[rodneyjdouglass]

When adding items to manifests, only the items in the catalog linked to the manifest should show, not every item in munki. Its pointless showing all the items because they won't be installed.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Manifests can be nested in many complex ways and the catalog assignment is always inherited. I don't want MunkiAdmin to needlessly limit what items can be added to a manifest. That said, there are items that should never be added to manifests such as the apple update metadata items which MunkiAdmin already filters out from the list.

Perhaps this could be an admin preference?

Manifests only inherit a parent manifest's catalog list if there is no list of catalogs in the current manifest.

You should be able to filter "candidate" items against the current list of catalogs; if that list is empty, don't filter.
