Add 'New folder from selection' to the right-click menu in the Project Panel

I’d like to request the addition of Add 'New folder from selection' to the right-click menu in the Project Panel. This would take any selected project items and create a new folder, move those items into the new folder, and the folder would be active to directly type a new name.

Functionally, this work work exactly the same as selecting items and dragging them to the Folder icon at the bottom of the project panel (big up Brian Carter for sharing the knowledge on that one 🍻). It would simply make the process faster to execute, as well as potentially increasing discoverability (thank you Kyle Hamrick, Jake Bartlett, Bobby Donald for valuable input on this 🙏🏾)

It's a feature my file manager has (I'm using OneCommander - I think there's a Powertoys tool for this as well), and I find it super useful for quickly organising files. Just select the files needed, run the command, and they're placed in a new sub-folder that I can instantly name. Really useful for things like client asset dumps that come all in one folder.

It would be really useful for quickly organising project structure, especially if the menu command could be added to a KBar button or keyboard shortcut.

I'd imagine it living just under 'New comp from selection' in the right-click menu for the Project Panel, as a logical location that users may be familiar with for the other command.

TLDR - Please add a menu command to place selected Project Panel items in a new folder, just like dragging items onto the new folder button.
