Comparative screenshot

As shown in the attached screenshot, in the tabbed notebookbar toolbar mode (but not really in other toolbar layouts), the "Open" button has a menubutton (▼) that only contains contents that duplicate the "Recent Documents menubutton and the "Open Remote" button, both of which are present in the same group within the toolbar.

It would be good to show one or the others, but not both at the same time?

The commands are uno:Open and uno:RecentFileList but effectively both do the same in this situation. Removing the "Recent Documents" saves us also a lot of precious space.

The patch should remove either the complete group of recent and remote documents or combine Open Remote/Save Remote and also remove the dedicated Save As button (available in the expanded section of Save).
