Native file open dialogs #93

Idea is to have dvui create a modal dialog and at the same time use a library to launch the platform's native file open dialog. When the native dialog is closed, the dvui dialog would extract the information and make it available to the app.

On Linux, use the command zenity.

I found something nice: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfiledialogs/

It's C, which also can be ported to Zig.

That looks pretty good. @VisenDev mentioned https://github.com/samhocevar/portable-file-dialogs which compares itself to tinyfiledialogs, so probably either one is a good candidate.
