fix(datagrid): keep keyboard focus across the grid filter flow (#1490)

 ### Fixed
 
+- Filtering the data grid keeps you on the keyboard. Applying or clearing a filter returns focus to the grid so you can keep moving through cells, Return applies the filter, and Escape closes the filter panel and returns to the grid. (#1490)
 - Moving a connection into or out of a group now syncs across devices, instead of leaving it ungrouped on your other Macs.
 - Opening a table on a connection with many tables no longer stalls for several seconds while autocomplete and table metadata load. Background schema introspection now runs on separate connections instead of waiting behind, or blocking, the query that fills the grid. (#1483)
