feat: Add open folder functionality for photos in file manager

This commit introduces a new feature that allows users to open the folder containing a selected photo in their system's file manager. The API has been updated with a new endpoint to handle folder opening requests, supporting various operating systems. The frontend has been enhanced to include a button for this action, providing user feedback and error handling. Documentation and tests have been updated to reflect these changes, ensuring reliability and usability.
