Enhancement: Optimizing the first dashboard load

[estruyf]

See how we can improve the first load of the content dashboard.

• Pre-processing of pages
• Pre-settings retrieval
• Cache pages in VSCode state with a timestamp so that data does not always need to be processed again.
• Tab view switching - perform this only on the filtered/sorted pages
• Pagination - Issue: disabling frontMatter.dashboard.content.pagination causes FM to "crash" #426
  • Define your own page set
  • If page set is bigger than 52 items, turn it on by default
• Test out the preview URI on Windows
• Move away from the the file system sync methods and replace these with async alternatives
• Page batching -> first tests were not showing a huge difference

The frontMatter.dashboard.content.pagination setting can now use a number as value to specify your nr of items per page.
