Seed Quick Open (Ctrl+P) filter value from editor selection

[Jade Ferreira Vieira (jadefr)]

When text is selected in the editor and you press Ctrl+P, Quick Open now pre-fills
the filter with that selection.

This is the same existing behavior of Find in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F) and Go to Symbol (Ctrl+T).

It only seeds from an explicit, non-empty selection. Intentionally it does not honor editor.find.seedSearchStringFromSelection, since that setting's default would introduce word-at-cursor seeding here.

• This closes the other editors on mousedown, but preventing/stopping mousedown does not cancel the subsequent click. Since the ActionBar already displays and runs CloseOtherEditorTabsInGroupAction while Alt is held, one gesture can start two concurrent closeEditors operations, potentially duplicating dirty-editor prompts or racing closure. Remove this extra listener and rely on the existing action.

		const tabActionsAltClickListener = addDisposableListener(tabActionsContainer, EventType.MOUSE_DOWN, e => {
			if (!isMouseEvent(e) || e.button !== 0 || !e.altKey) {
				return;
			}

			EventHelper.stop(e, true);

			const editor = this.tabsModel.getEditorByIndex(tabIndex);
			if (!editor) {
				return;
			}

			this.blockRevealActiveTabOnce();

			const editorsToClose = this.groupView.getEditors(EditorsOrder.SEQUENTIAL, { excludeSticky: true }).filter(other => !other.matches(editor));
			this.groupView.closeEditors(editorsToClose);
		}, true /* capture */);
