 Based on an old thread from https://wordpress.org/ideas/topic/hidden-page-
 visibility we would like to add a new visibility type: Hidden.

 Here are the essential out-comings of the discussions:

 A hidden page differs from the existing page visibilities like this:
 - Public: A hidden page isn't widely advertised. They don't get added
 automatically to menus even if that option is selected, but they can still
 be included in menus manually.
 - Private: A hidden page's content is accessible to anyone who knows the
 URL, regardless of their authorisation level.
 - Password Protected: A hidden page requires no password to access.

 Mainly a hidden page should be accessible only if you go with the browser
 directly to its URL. This would work very similar with the sharing
 functionality in Google Docs and Dropbox, where you can share a document
 via the URL.
