[Design] Adding the filtering checkboxes to the subscribe dialog

The new sharing framework that will be put in place soon has much  
better support for filtering than the old framework (filtering should  
actually work :-).  Each participant (publisher or subscriber) in a  
shared collection will have control over what fields they choose to  
share (triage status, alarms, etc.), completely independent of what  
other participants have selected.  For example, if user A declines to  
share triage status, but users B and C decide to share it, user A  
won't see B and C's triage values, but B and C will see each  
other's.  In the old framework, everyone had to agree on the same set  
of filters.

Therefore I propose we add the four checkboxes that are in the  
publish/manage dialog (Share alarms, event status, triage status, and  
needs reply status) to the subscribe dialog as well.
