Provide an option to disable fuzzy matching in file picker #2705

Description

@Wosi

The new fuzzy file picker makes it really hard to me to find files in huge projects (~5,000 source files). Regardless of what I'm typing in the file picker I receive a lot of results I definitely don't want. Example below:

The old file picker used to work like the IntelliSense widget which feels consistent to me as a user. Is there a way to turn on the old file picker again?
