Feature Request: Set the level where an index tag appears for the first time

A key feature of MinimServer is that you can browse by any tags in any order at any time. This differs from other servers that provide a "browse tree" in which some tag choices need to be made before other tag choices become visible. It is unlikely that I would add this "browse tree" approach to MinimServer.

I think this should just be an option which would be controlled by a prefix in the indexTag property, maybe like this (as my example 2):
indexTags=AlbumArtist, Decade, -1^Date:Year, All Artists, Genre
-1^Date makes the index tag Date start to show up from the first subtree and below.

It should not compromise the key feature of MinimWatch, just extend its customizability. One could use it or not, depending on the individual desire. I think there are some good reasons to use this. Not every tag is useful on first level to start a selection. Especially if you configure for many tags you will crowd your start level tree.
