The chevron drop-down on editor stacks supports filtering but rendered matched characters in plain weight, so it was hard to see why a row qualified. This change switches BasicPartList to a StyledCellLabelProvider that bolds matched substrings using the same StyledStringHighlighter the Quick Switch Editor (Ctrl+E) dialog already uses, giving both lists a consistent look. The dirty-prefix asterisk is excluded from highlighting so only the filename portion is bolded.

Closes #194

The chevron drop-down on editor stacks supports filtering, but matched
characters were rendered without emphasis. Switch BasicPartList to a
StyledCellLabelProvider that bolds the matched substring using the same
StyledStringHighlighter the Quick Switch Editor (Ctrl+E) dialog uses.

The dirty-prefix asterisk is excluded from highlighting so only the
filename portion gets bolded.
