Feat: add file path sorting for document manager

- Add file_path sorting support to all database backends (JSON, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
- Implement smart column header switching between "ID" and "File Name" based on display mode
- Add automatic sort field switching when toggling between ID and file name display
- Create composite indexes for workspace+file_path in PostgreSQL and MongoDB for better query performance
- Update frontend to maintain sort state when switching display modes
- Add internationalization support for "fileName" in English and Chinese locales

This enhancement improves user experience by providing intuitive file-based sorting
while maintaining performance through optimized database indexes.
