refactor(status): Support batch and all changes discard functionality

The file discarding mechanism has been significantly refactored to improve handling of multi-file operations. Instead of processing discards on a per-file basis, the system now supports batch actions for selected files or reverting all tracked modifications simultaneously. This update centralizes complex discard logic into dedicated functions across the component suite.

- Updated state management and types to handle arrays of file changes.
- Added UI elements and handlers for discarding all staged/unstaged changes.
- Enhanced the confirmation dialog to display multiple discarded targets in a list view.
