Feature request: Manual assets folder control #301

Hi!

I would love it if there was a way where the asset management in Sveltia is expanded by allowing me to manually define categories and folders for items. Currently the only way I found to get items out of the Uncategorized section is by defining a subfolder as the media_folder on a collection. However, I also have assets that I would like to categorize manually, for example some PDF documents.

I can imagine a solution here where the first subfolder in assets would be the categorization? E.g. /assets/documents would automatically be recognized as a documents category.

The workaround I can come up with is by defining a documents collection that doesn't have content, but just defines the media_folder so Sveltia recognizes it, but that leaves me with a documents collection that's empty and unused in my editor, which is clutter that I think should be preventable. Example config that would work:

export const Collection = {
  label: 'Documents',
  name: 'documents',
  public_folder: '/documents',
  media_folder: '/assets/documents',
  create: true
};

(Yes we do some weird stuff with bundeling TS for our config, it's great - love the customizability!)

But this still leaves me with one giant list of documents. What if I want to subdivide this further by having folders?

So:

The feature request is the ability to manually define/assign assets to a section, and letting the UI allow CRUD operations on (sub)folders.

Thanks!
