  LPS-17082	Assets cannot be manually added to Asset Publisher
  LPS-32475	Asset Publisher - When Configuration is set to Manual and the Scope is set to Current Site, no assets can be added or selected.
  LPS-26778	Asset publisher can still select assets with Manual Asset Selection
  LPS-13700	Asset Publisher - Substitute Web Content Display
  LPS-33433	As a site administrator I can enable RSS feeds for a manual selection of assets in the asset publisher portlet

We have restricted the number of liferay portlets that are available to users by deactivating them in the control panel under "Plugins Configuration".
It seems to work fine, but it has caused a problem with the Asset Publisher Portlet.

The Asset Publisher allows us to add new content to five different types. Unfortunately, one of them - the "Document Library Document" - is one of the portlets that we have removed (deactivated) from our list of available portlets.

There should either be a way to manually remove / edit items from the "Add New..." list on the asset publisher through the configuration or automatically by checking the activated / deactivated portlets.

I rolled back this fix because adding a manual configuration doens't solve the problem fully. For example, suppose you have 10 communities each with asset publisher on it. Now you have to configure all 10.

This is a system level configuration that shouldn't be exposed to individual admins.

The proper fix isn't to deactivate the portlet, but to find some way to configure it in one spot. Will research and reapply fix.

Fixed it by adding new properties:

#

1. Set a property with the prefix "asset.renderer.enabled." and a suffix
2. with the asset renderer factory class name to enable or disable an asset
3. renderer factory. The default setting is true. See LPS-6085 for more
4. information.
   #
   #asset.renderer.enabled.com.liferay.portlet.documentlibrary.asset.DLFileEntryAssetRendererFactory=false

It's only used for the core asset render factories, since for plugins, you just remove the plugin to disable it.

Readded Julio's changes as well since his manual configuration is still nice for other use cases.
