Enhance drag and drop so tree nodes can be dragged into file explorer #3048

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like an easier experience to download data sets or USS files to my machine.

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to drag a data set or USS file directly from the ZE tree into File Explorer (Window) or Finder (MacOS)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can right-click on a tree node, select the Download option from the context menu, and navigate to a folder in the file dialog, but that's more work 😋

Additional context

We may be able to refer to VS Code source for how to implement this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/src/vs/editor/browser/dnd.ts

Additionally, it would be useful to be able to drag data sets and USS files from Zowe Explorer into the VS Code file explorer. This would enable users to quickly copy files and data sets to their local workspace in VS Code.
