Adds a new constructor parameter that accepts a function for filtering text input (i.e. how text is filtered when typing into a Select or MultiSelect Prompt). This allows developers to override the default behavior (.Contains(keyword)) with custom behavior such as fuzzy matching. This helps with long inputs, where you may have multiple items in your strings but are unsure about the order or exact input.

I wanted to use Sharprompt to develop an internal tool, where I wanted to prompt the user to select one or multiple work items from a DevOps board. Sometimes it helps to filter with a text input such as "deliv closed" to match the row "Title: Delivery Menu, Type: User Story, State: Closed" or similar. For my own use case I would like a fuzzy match akin to
fzfbut was unable to implement that because the behavior is hardcoded into thepaginator.The PR may not be perfect, so I created it as a draft. What are your thoughts on this?
