Example to test the Master Elements dialog

If you use the item "Master elements" from menu Slide, you might think, that
this disables the display of footer/header/page number/date-time for the
current active slide or notes page. But it removes it from the associated
master page even if you are not in Master view but in Normal view. At the same
time the styling of the element is lost, so that enabling the element again
inserts it with the default styling.

The item "Master elements" is linked to .uno:MasterLayouts. It has the extended
tipp "Add header, footer, date, and slide number placeholders to the master
slide. So it is very clear, that it is only intended for the master slide.
Therefore it should not be active, if you are in normal view.

But the command is not needed at all.  If in master view, you can
enable/disable the items in the "Header and Footer" dialog from "Insert > Page
number" or "Insert > Header and Footer". (The duplicate way for the same dialog
is in bug 104088.)
And if you are in normal view the "Header and Footer" dialog allows you to
disable the display of the master element for the current slide or notes
respectively.

The command .uno:MasterLayouts might be used in macros, therefore my request is
not to remove it totally, but only to remove it from the UI.

I have attached a file, where I have enabled line and filling for the master
elements, so that they can be seen easily. You can use it to test the command.
