Add Autocomplete support in chevron popup with preference toggle in the eclipse Settings->Preference->General page Introduced a new autocomplete behavior for the chevron popup filter text. As the user types, matching editor names are suggested and the remaining part is auto-filled, improving navigation efficiency within the chevron pop up. This is an enhancement done for filtertext and users can enable or disable the autocomplete option based on their preference. This behaviour is controlled through a new preference flag `ENABLE_AUTOCOMPLETE_IN_CHEVRON` stored under `org.eclipse.ui.workbench`. Users can enable or disable the feature in the Workbench Preferences. When disabled, the chevron fitering falls back to the standard filtering behavior. Key changes: - Added `chevronAutocompleteBehavior()` to implement auto completion with suggestion. - Retained existing `normalFilterBehavior()` for plain text filtering incase the user wanted to disable the auto complete feature. - Updated `installFilter()` to switch between behaviors based on user preference - Added `isAutocompleteEnabled()` method to check the preference state
