Quicker filtering and selection of a single item

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user I want to be able to use Out-ConsoleGridView to filter and select an item with the fewest number of actions to speed up the selection process.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This is the current sequence of actions that need to be performed:

1. Run command Get-Process | Out-ConsoleGridView -OutputMode Single
2. Hit Tab to focus on the filter to be able to start typing
3. Do a search, e.g., "Firefox"
4. Hit Enter to move the focus from the filter to the grid
5. Hit Enter again to select the object and close the grid view

The proposed solution is to add settings to allow this sequence of actions:

1. Run command Get-Process | Out-ConsoleGridView -OutputMode Single
2. (Filter gets focused automatically) Do a search, e.g., "Firefox"
3. Hit Enter:
   • Scenario A. Given only one result is matched, then select the object and close the grid view
   • Scenario B. Given multiple results are matched, then focus on the grid and allow to move up/down to select the desired item and hit Enter to confirm the selection and close the grid view

Dupe of https://github.com/PowerShell/ConsoleGuiTools/issues/127

Right?

@tig Not really. #127 is about putting focus on a specific item in the list, mine's about allowing to focus on the filter.

Please open this again. I think it could be a nice optimisation in many cases.
