libobs: Add filter for save file path property
Description
File path properties allow for filters to be set that limit the file types shown in the file select dialog. QT allows the same filters to be used in a File Save dialog, to limit the file types/extensions a user can save a file as. This PR uses the provided filter value in the obs_properties_add_path to limit the save-as file types/extensions in the file save dialog. This can be seen in the sample dialog below, where the save as type of Preset (*.snoise) is populated in the dropdown. This has the added benefit of automatically adding the file extension provided to the saved file. Currently for OBS_PATH_FILE_SAVE dialogs, the filters are silently ignored.
Motivation and Context
This feature is useful for plugin authors, as it will allow limiting the file types and extensions for any file saved through the save dialog box.
How Has This Been Tested?
This has been tested on Windows 11 with the latest HEAD of obs studio for a save file dialog being developed in an upcoming plugin I am working on.
