FolderPicker: get folders of other site url instead of the current context/site

[frankyvc]

Hi team,

Category

[ ] Enhancement, Bug

Version

Please specify what version of the library you are using: [ "@pnp/spfx-controls-react": "3.10.0" ]

Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

When using the FolderPicker component, i need to be able to select a site url of another site collection (not the one i'm currently at).
With this site url i want to open the FolderPicker component.

Observed Behavior

The FolderPicker component always takes the this.props.context (current context and site).
When i check the code in the FolderPicker component, behind the scenes it calls the FolderExplorer and passes the current context.

Steps to Reproduce

Implement the FolderPicker and try to use this for another site, not the current site/context

Submission Guidelines

The FolderExplorer component CAN ACCEPT also a property 'siteAbsoluteUrl'.
To fix the issue, i think we only need to add a 'siteAbsoluteUrl' property to the FolderPicker component and pass the correct siteUrl behind the scenes to the FolderExplorer.

Thanks!
