Suggestion-Request: Add menu to Trader Petitions #3775

Dwarf fortress is intimidating with the amount of options that are provided. I suggest/request that a menu similar to the Trade Depot menu is added to the Traders Petition menu. Where we request imports from traders. I want to be successful in any map and opening up easy & clear trades through imports menu will bring a lot more attention to the petition mechanic. Which to be honest I ignored for a while as there was to many choices to click 1 by 1.

Request/Suggestion: Add a menu to the trade petition import user interface.

Some ideas:

show current available quantities next to types you can request so players can see what they need more of
(optionally?) simplify leather selection so not all types need to be individually shown. Maybe ask how many leather items are needed and automatically select an appropriate number of item types.
add presets like "everything that can be made out of military grade metals", "plantable seeds I'm low on"

Those all great. I'm mainly interested in ctrl+a to select all and filter addition in the petition import menu.

Ctrl-a already exists, does it not show up for you?
