FileChooser improvements

• Make ‘unsafe’ classes optional and extract them to vis-ui-contrib
  • FileChooserWinService not worth it
  • JNAFileDeleter
• Add Refresh in popup menu
• Different view modes
• Display suggestions when typing file name
• FileTypeFilter
  • Automatically append extension
• Update wiki (FileChooser.setDefaultPrefsName())
• File list sorting options
• Show file modified date when using details view
• When using DIRECTORIES selection mode, filter out files from list (don’t forget setSelectionMode must rebuild file list)
• Drag and drop (maybe post 1.1.0 though)
• Allow to use FileWatcher from NIO instead of pooling
• File detail / preview view mode (see comments below)
• Automatic scroll focus shift (see https://github.com/kotcrab/vis-editor/issues/176#issuecomment-227273750)
• List directory contents on separate thread (see https://github.com/kotcrab/vis-editor/issues/176#issuecomment-229851109)

I responded in the linked issue to avoid notifying again all those people back from 2016. I guess it’s too late now 😃

If you want you can make a PR that will add allow hidden option for DefaultFileFilter.

Fetching the list of available files in a folder should be done off the GL thread as when referencing filesystems that are over the network or are on removable media the time can be extremely slow to build the list causing a significant and noticeable hitch in the UI (2-15 seconds depending on what I’m accessing of non responsiveness)
