Add "Find text on canvas" menu item

Adds a new menu item to the main hamburger menu that opens the library search functionality.

Changes

  • Added "Find text on canvas" menu item with magnifying glass icon
  • Clicking the item triggers Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac), which opens the library sidebar with the search tab active

Implementation

The feature uses Excalidraw's built-in keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+F) by dispatching a native keyboard event, ensuring consistent behavior with the existing search functionality.
