feat(frontend): suggested-first ordering + filter box in the schema-linking columns modal

Wide tables (e.g. 116 columns, 3 suggested) made curation a scroll hunt. Now the
modal lists suggested columns first (stable sort on the descriptor flag, so
toggling never reorders rows) and adds a filter box matching name + description,
with a "shown/total" count. Selection stays keyed by column name, so the response
column order is unchanged (catalog order). Applies to read-only (excluded) tables too.
