tiles-view switch

[exalate-issue-sync]

Description

User Stories

• As a user I want to switcht between the list and tiles view so that I can have different views on the same folder.

Value

• improve files navigation & organisation

Acceptance Criteria

• tiles-view switch Add a switch to toggle between viewmodes: tilesview and list view. (Future: 3rd view: "condesed list" for powerusers like cern)
• (Note) The viewmode state (list / grid) stays as is, even if the user navigates to another folder (per view).
• "source of truth" for viewmode is the query parameter (chinese proverb)
• View mode selection gets written into query parameter

that + the way back is very easy (as long as we keep the keyboard focus in the view mode selection, which we should do). But I'm not sure at all about this. 🤷

Let me open a small demo PR later so you+Tobi(+CERN?) can check it out & evaluate?
