Improve snapshot browser

Note: if you have a question or want discussion please post in the discussions area.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current snapshot browser is clunky, and doesn't work well when you need to restore a deeply nested folder (not only do you need a lot of time to navigate there because each time you open a folder there's a delay, but the display itself is very short horizontally, so you can't see the folder/filenames past a certain nested folder count)

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe expand the snapshot browser display horizontally? And maybe cache the directory structure so there's no delay when you open a folder.
A more radical idea would be to implement a "file manager-style" snapshot browser instead of expanding folders with arrows.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

It would be nice to also be able to delete files inside of snapshots and/or all snapshots via the browser facilitated by using the restic rewrite command in the backend.
