Add file filter functionality to tree view

- Add Filter Files command with input box
- Add Clear Filter command (visible only when filtered)
- Filter matches against filename and relative path (case-insensitive)
- Hide empty folders when filtering in tree view mode
- Update tree title to show (filtered) state
- Maintain existing Search Changes functionality
