Idea:
When right-clicking on a folder in Dolphin that is not currently being indexed, the context menu should have an "Add to Index" option, which would be equivalent to checking off the appropriate box in the folder treeview in Strigi's settings KCM. Folders that are already indexed should either not have this option shown, or the option should be checkable; that is, it can be disabled the same way.

Use Case:
- Alice stores all of her source code under ~/code. She likes her personal projects to be indexed for convenience, but she also sometimes makes large, temporary checkouts of other code, just to do a one-off build. When Strigi automatically indexes irrelevant content, it just wastes resources and clutters her index. She would like to be able to easily flag folders in ~/code for indexing without needing to go into System Settings.

(Note that code isn't the point of the example - it could easily be other files - but this is one of the cases I was running into. The point is that quickly "whitelisting" folders when you add them is a lot easier than whitelisting the whole folder and trying to remember to catch unwanted items.)
