feat: manage columns in package list page

[carlosthe19916]

This PR is just a proposal, it needs to be validated with UX and Engineers:

The Package List table contains a column Path and from a personal experience that columns is most of the time empty. It occupies space.

This PR adds the ability to show/hide table columns based on the user preferences. The saved columns will survive even if the user leaves the page because we are using the browser storage.

We are also able to define defaults in regards which columns could be hidden from the beginning, the column path could potentially be hidden as part of the default configuration.

Summary by Sourcery

Add configurable column visibility to the package list table and expose a UI to manage visible columns.

New Features:

• Allow users to show or hide individual columns in the package list table, with visibility persisted via table column state.
• Add a toolbar column-management control using PatternFly's ColumnManagementModal to configure which package list columns are visible.

Enhancements:

• Define initial and default column metadata for the package list, ensuring identity columns remain visible and disabling unused table selection/active-item features.

Build:

• Add @patternfly/react-component-groups as a client dependency for column management UI components.

Reviewer's Guide

Introduces configurable column visibility for the Package List table, wiring PatternFly's ColumnManagementModal into the toolbar and table controls so users can manage and persist which package columns are shown (e.g., hiding the often-empty path column).

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Make table headers and cells in PackageTable conditional on column visibility from tableControls.	Destructure getColumnVisibility from tableControls and use it to wrap each	header definition for package attributes. Gate each	cell in the body rows behind corresponding getColumnVisibility checks while preserving existing cell content and props. Keep expansion and row control behavior unchanged while integrating visibility checks around existing components like PackageLicenses, PackageQualifiers, and PackageVulnerabilities.	client/src/app/pages/package-list/package-table.tsx
Add a Manage Columns control to the package list toolbar using PatternFly ColumnManagementModal wired to table column state.	Extend tableControls destructuring in the toolbar to include columnState. Render a new ManageColumnsToolbar action in the toolbar, passing current, default, and setter for columns from columnState. Ensure pagination and existing filters remain intact alongside the new manage-columns control.	client/src/app/pages/package-list/package-toolbar.tsx client/src/app/components/TableControls/ManageColumnsToolbar.tsx
Configure table controls for column management and disable selection-related features in the package search context.	Provide an initialColumns configuration marking the name column as the identity column so it cannot be hidden by users. Explicitly disable active item and selection features via isActiveItemEnabled and isSelectionEnabled flags in the table controls configuration.	client/src/app/pages/package-list/package-context.tsx
Implement ManageColumnsToolbar component using PatternFly component groups and hook it to reusable ColumnState.	Create a generic ManageColumnsToolbar component that maps between ColumnState objects and ColumnManagementModalColumn props, including visibility, default visibility, and untoggleable identity columns. Use local state to control the open/close lifecycle of ColumnManagementModal and apply changes back to the table by updating columnState via setColumns. Present the column management entry point as a plain icon button (ColumnsIcon) inside an OverflowMenu for responsive layout in the toolbar.	client/src/app/components/TableControls/ManageColumnsToolbar.tsx
Add PatternFly React Component Groups dependency required for ColumnManagementModal.	Add @patternfly/react-component-groups to client package.json dependencies and update package-lock accordingly.	client/package.json package-lock.json
