Feature: Group Queues by Category

[manfe]

This PR introduces:

• Queue categories, but keeping backwards compatibility setting a default category.
• Search Provider so we can reflect search results in all parts of the app.

How it works:

Why the uppercase?

[manfe]

The ideia is to normalize the data, otherwise Category 1 and category 1 will be distinct.

[manfe]

I am going to remove uppercase here and treat it in another leve, since the category property at base adapter is public, otherwise getCategory and class.category can return different data.

Hi @manfe thank you for the PR.
It is a great feature, but I would like you to make small changes.

1. Queue search should remain on the left menu (as it was) (your position dosn't make any sense)
2. Full backward compatability, to keep the current view (if there is only one category, show the corrent view, without collapse & group)
3. In order to make the code review easier for me, split this PR into several small PRs 🙏🏽,
4. Don't change example.ts, but add a new example in the examples folder.

@felixmosh regarding your points.

1. With this PR the search turned global on app and I also want address some responsiveness. The search at top bar from UX works better, because the search is reflecting in the overview page. And for responsiveness the sidebar can be hidden without losing of search feature. Also thinking a little ahead, having search at top bar, probably sidebar will turn useless and the UI can be simplified.

2. Originally I did that, but I thought that just a default word wouldn't be a problem, and also it was going to motive people using categories to organize their queues. PS: when there is only one category it always start as expanded), but if you really think it's a big deal, I can address it.

3. Ok, I am going to do these steps:

• PR to add category property Feature: Category property #740
• PR for global search Global Search Provider - Make search available through App #741
• PR for dropdown categories [this will be a little complex anyway]

4. I am going to create it, with Category Property PR

How I am imagining the UX improvement:

[manfe]

After having #740 and #741

We can discuss the best implementation for UI/UX part.

That's work for you @felixmosh ?
