XDG special dirs missing from sidebar #3788

Bug description
XDG user directories (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos) do not
appear in the sidebar "My Computer" section. Only Desktop shows — and Desktop
is added via a separate code path, so effectively the special-dirs enumeration
returns nothing.
Steps to reproduce
Open nemo, look at left panel
Expected behavior
Show all XDG user directories in left panel

Additionally, „Desktop“ and „File System“ should not be hardcoded for the xdg structure (which is clearly a bug) Every Folder in „Home“ should behave in the same way.
So the „Computer“ section should list all default folders from „Home“. But all folders including „file system“ should be removeable from the „Computer“ Section
