Michael Meyer d5232c7693 allow_category: honor 'goldX' more consistently
A comment in allow_category states that if gold is explicitly selected
as a category, it should be included in the results regardless of what
other BUCX filters may have also been applied.  That makes sense to me:
there's only one thing in the gold category, and it always has the same
BUCX status, so it's pointless to try to "filter" the gold category with
a BUCX filter.  Considering it a "also add gold, on top of the filtered
results" category adds utility.

However, other categories which may include gold (specifically
justpicked; unpaid is in the code too, but that can't actually happen
in-game) were treated the same way: if the category included gold, no
filter could exclude it.  As a result, if the hero had just picked up
gold, 'P'+'C', 'P'+'U', 'P'+'X', and 'P'+'B' all showed the just-picked
gold pieces -- there was no way to filter justpicked to exclude gold
the BUCX categories.  This approach made less sense to me: justpicked as
a category may include gold, but filtering by BUCX actually has utility
there, and selecting it doesn't carry a "show me gold in addition to the
other filtered items" implication.

Maintain the same special treatment of selecting the coins category, but
drop it for justpicked and unpaid.  In those cases whether gold is
listed in the justpicked result will depend on it not being filtered out
by the selected BUCX categories (and which one it belongs to, in turn,
depends on the 'goldX' option).
