Add 'filepath' source attribute to tiddlywiki.files (#7253)

* Add 'filepath' source attribute to tiddlywiki.files

Adds a new source attribute to facilitate importing subdirectories with
the `searchSubdirectories` attribute.

The `filepath` atttribute is like `filename` except it includes the full
pathname relative to the directory path. Consequently it only works with
`directories` sections (not `tiddlers`).

* Add `subdirectories` source attribute to tiddlywiki.files

Adds another new source attribute to facilitate importing subdirectories
with the `searchSubdirectories` attribute.

The `subdirectories` source attribute is only usable with `directories`
sections (not `tiddlers`). It resolves to an array containing all the
directories in the file's path relative to the directory path. Eg, if
the directory path is `files`, `{ source: 'subdirectories' }` for a file
in  `files/images/photos` would resolve to `['images', 'photos'].

This commit also adds an example to the "tiddlywiki.files Files"
documentation tiddler that demonstrates using the `filepath` and
`subdirectories` source attributes to import and auto-tag image files
as external-image tiddlers.

!! Importing a folder of text files
This example retrieves all the files with the extension `.txt` from a folder specified by a relative path. This folder is within the wiki's base directory, and the current config file is in a directory within the wiki's "tiddlers/" directory. So, in this case the path starts with "../../" to traverse upwards two directory levels, and then down into the "externalnotes/" directory. Each tiddler is set up with the following fields:

From the examples in [[Customising Tiddler File Naming]] we see that the final `[!tag[externalnote]addprefix[wiki/]]` filter in the $:/config/FileSystemPaths tiddler excludes all tiddlers tagged with `externalnotes` (that have not matched an earlier filter). These tiddlers have their filepath retrieved from the $:/config/OriginalTiddlerPaths generated upon boot startup.
Then, the `[tag[.txt]then[.txt]]` filter in the $:/config/FileSystemExtensions tiddler forces all these tiddlers to be saved back to disk as *.txt and accompanying *.txt.meta files (overriding the normal tiddler-type to file-type mapping). In this case, allowing the snippets of Tiddlywiki wikitext or markdown-text to be saved back to "text" *.txt files.

!! Importing and auto-tagging images
This example imports all the image files in the `files` directory and all its subdirectories as external-image tiddlers, and tags them based on their filepath. Each tiddler is set up with the following fields:
* ''title'' - set to the URI decoded base filename of the text file
* ''created'' - set to the creation date/time of the text file
* ''modified'' - set to the modification date/time of the text file
* ''type'' - set to `image/jpeg`. There is currently no way to infer the correct ContentType of the image tiddler from the file, but `image/jpeg` tiddlers should render correctly even with png or gif images. As an alternative, you could create separate definitions for jpg, png, and gif files with the `image/jpeg`, `image/png`, and `image/gif` types respectively.
* ''tags'' - generated based on the path of the image relative to the parent directory (`files` in this case). Eg, images in `files/photos` will be tagged with `photos`, those in `files/photos/family` will be tagged with both `photos` and `family`, and those in the root `files` directory will have no tags.
* ''text'' - set to an empty string
* ''_canonical_uri'' - set to the full filepath of the image relative to the wiki root
