Adds a toggleable flat file list mode (Ctrl+T) similar to VS Code's Source Control panel. Files are shown with full paths without directory tree nodes, and Left/Right arrows navigate between panels. - options: persisted per-repo in .git/gitui (default: tree) - key bindings: status_toggle_tree -> Ctrl+T - flat mode: FileTreeItems::new_flat() skips directory nodes - StatusTree: Left/Right no-ops in flat, updated tests - StatusTreeComponent: renders full paths in flat mode - ChangesComponent/Status: toggle handler and integration - strings: 'Tree View'/'List View' command help

Motivation
Navigating scattered changes across deeply nested directories is cumbersome in the default tree view. Expanding and collapsing folders to find modified files slows down the workflow, especially in large projects. VS Code's Source Control panel offers a flat "List" view that many developers find more intuitive, this PR brings that option to gitui.
What it does
Adds a toggleable flat file list mode (default key:
Ctrl+T) for the staged and unstaged changes panels. In flat mode, files are shown with their full paths (e.g.,M src/components/changes.rs) without directory tree nodes. Left/Right arrow keys navigate between the unstaged/staged panels instead of expanding/collapsing directories.The setting is persisted per-repository in
.git/gituiand defaults to the existing tree view, so this is fully backward compatible.Usage
Ctrl+Twhen focus is on either the "Unstaged Changes" or "Staged Changes" panelkey_bindings.ron(status_toggle_tree)I followed the checklist:
