Open in last viewed folder should be optional

[migtorr]

Problem

When I open Files it opens in my last viewed folder, not home. Even if I io.elementary.files /home/mineru it opens home folder + last viewed folder in a tab

Proposal

Make open last viewed optional

Prior Art (Optional)

You can currently prevent restoring previous tabs two ways:

• Disable "History" in the System Settings/Security & Privacy. This will affect all apps (including Files) that respect that setting.
  OR
• Set the gsetting "/io/elementary/files/preferences/restore-tabs" to false either in using dconf-editor or on the command line. (gsettings set io.elementary.files.preferences restore-tabs false)

At present you cannot change this setting through the FIles UI. Feel free to amend this issue if this is what you desire.
