Allow quick open to filter on folder names by typing folder name after the file #30404

Quick Open (using Command P) is a great tool. However, if you are in a framework like Rails, you'll often have files that are named the same across many different folders, particularly for views. You may have 10s or 100s of index.html.haml or index.json.jbuilder files. Being able to narrow down the file is practically impossible with VSCode without the ability to also narrow down the folder, which provides a more descriptive name.

It would be great to have Quick Open use the filter to search the names of folders to help narrow down the list and find the file quickly.
