feat: enhance file deletion functionality with multi-select (#682)

## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Enhances the file manager with
multi-select deletion functionality and improved UI formatting.
* **What changes are included?**
	* Added multi-select capability for file deletion in the web interface
	* Fixed formatting issues in file table for folder rows
* Updated [.gitignore] to exclude additional build artifacts and cache
files
	* Refactored CrossPointWebServer.cpp to support batch file deletion
* Enhanced FilesPage.html with improved UI for file selection and
deletion

## Additional Context

* The file deletion endpoint now handles multiple files in a single
request, improving efficiency when removing multiple files
* Changes are focused on the web file manager component only
