Change of concept: representative objects (atoms: balls, sticks: cylinders & cups) of a duplivert structure are hidden in the view_port

I'm very happy about the new concepts of Blender 2.80! This is yet another example.
These representative objects of a duplivert structure can now be invisible. Their
presence in a, e.g., 3D view has no meaning. They are anyway reproduced at the mesh
and are visible at the vertices of the mesh. Cool thing!
