System Information
Operating system: Ubuntu 17.10
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 1050

Blender Version
Broken: a070815d12

Short description of error
In the 3d view, you can easily add an object to the master collection, but there doesn't seem to be a way to remove it, unless you unlink it in the outliner.
In addtion, the "Remove from active Collection" menu, does not recognize an active scene collection.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Link to Collection allows adding objects to master collection
Remove from Collection does not support removing objects from master collection (object is in master collection and in 'Collection')
Neither doesRemove Selected from Active Collection (object is in master collection and in 'Collection' and master collection is active in outliner)
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOxewJys2sU

For consistencys sake, I'd suggest to add a "Scene Collection" entry to the "Remove from Collection" menu, just like there is one in the "Link to Collection" menu

Please describe the steps to reproduce the bug. A video externally hosted is not considered valid for a bug report.

Some time from now we should be able to check on the commit that fix this, see the original bug it tried to address, and reproduce the bug.
If the video vanishes from youtube this is not possible.

@brecht I have mixed feelings here. On one hand I can see why we would want to treat the Master Collection as any other collection when it comes to adding/removing from it.
On the other hand we don't allow the Master Collection to be instanced. So we are deliberately treating it as its own thing.

Implementation-wise I would go about having an iterator that includes both master collection and bmain->collections. But I think we should agree on the design first.

For me it's fine to add Scene Collection in this menu.

I think these collection operators should eventually be improved to show collections part of the scene hierarchy and other loose collections a bit separate. But the master collection is part of the scene hierarchy and should be in this menu I think.
