MDL-36548: Major performance boost to Detail (list) view in file picker

Pass the data (filelist) into the DataTable when initialising it, rather than rendering an empty DataTable and then pushing all of the data into it via addRows(). It's also slightly more efficient to just pass the node in, rather than fetching the node and passing its ID in, as DataTable.render() will just re-select the node if given the ID.
