contrib/collection.cgi: Added ability to hide specified types.

It is useful when you don't want to see many graphs. How to use the patch:
apply it to collection.cgi and add lines with keyword ,,dontshowtype'' to
/etc/collectd/collection.conf:

dontshowtype: "if_errors"
dontshowtype: "if_packets"

Then you will see only if_octets types in "interface" plugin page.

Via Debian bug #566199.
