rP436f0563e81f: Add a SublimeText-style repository typeahead

Summary

We build a big tree of everything and ship it to the client.
The client implements a bunch of Sublime-ish magic to find paths.

120–126	is purging the cache necessary? i'd hope in practice this isn't necessary, and otherwise i'd guess we're need an LRU-style cache with a memory limit or something to keep performance in line.

This will probably need some tweaks (and if your repository has like 100K files in it I'm not sure how usable it will be) but we can see what issues we hit. For Phabricator-sized repos it feels pretty good to me.

120–126	It shouldn't be necessary, but in theory a user can leave the page open for a day and type "a", "aa", "ab", etc., and potentially use a lot of memory. During normal use this shouldn't matter but I trust users to be inventive when it comes to this kind of thing.
