File Browser plugin: make search string partial-matching

Friedrich W. H. Kossebau requested to merge work/kossebau/partialmatchingfilebrowserfilter into release/23.08

Open questions:

  1. would it make sense to go further and even support the type of partial matching where the letters given do not need to be a block, but just appear? like "sf" matching "somefile"
  2. What about whitespaces? The tooltip (edit: well, German translation) suggests one has just one term to enter, but would people have explored the chance to enter multiple filter terms? Edit: or would they actually expect here whitespace to be part of the match expression, not used as separator? Current patch version now assumes separator users intents.

BUG: 472374 FIXED-IN: 23.08.0
