We work against what the os/DE reports as available in the current LibreOffice
session [1] Then simply test DirectoryHelper::fileExists() against
mounts/remotes FS that have been exposed as available. 

Then optionally dropping with RecentDocsView::clearUnavailableFiles() [2]
action available now from the SC UI for those document URLs that are not, but
done by explicit user action.  User option of adding the control to the File ->
Recent Documents sub-menu is reasonable.

Why would we want to make it more complicated that that, crossplatform
LibreOffice is not a FileManager. Onus is on user or os/DE to restore the FS
mounts? Not something required of LibreOffice to track.
