Add a way to filter by test/build/run/depend

Probably 3 tick boxes around. Any better design ? I could have a look at it, I am sure it is trivial to add.

This could get tricky since there are now 2 supported package.xml formats:

@ablasdel The API supports both package format versions.

@vrabaud But I think the plugin uses the rospkg API which can't distinguish dependency types.

It is also be unclear if you really want to consider only a single type. Since usually when using direct build dependencies that implies to also use recursive run dependencies...

@dirk-thomas , it makes sense. My motivation was that this depends takes into account test depends which I do not care about when I just want to build something. Maybe just an option to add test depends then ?

[dirk-thomas]

Optionally adding test dependencies would be possible. But only for catkin packages.

I would love to see this feature added (or at least different colors for different types of dependencies).

@johsin18 please considering contributing a pull request then.
