Allow adding ancestor directories to directories in project view

[kolloch]

Description of the feature request:

One way of working with the Bazel Plugin is to start with no directories in the view but with view_project_root: true .

There is special support in the plugin already to add directories to the project view:

Or when you open a file outside of the directories in the project view:

Unfortunately, if you have already added a descendant directory (kotlin/net/eigenvalue/example2 in this case), you cannot add an ancestor (kotlin/net/eigenvalue):

I think that it would be nice to allow that since it is quite normal to extend your viewed directories like that.

Adding e.g. kotlin/net/eigenvalue to the directories in the project view already works as expected it is mostly that the UI doesn't provide a button or other affordance.

Sorry I don't have capacity to work on that. Btw did you have a chance to work with the new (BSP) plugin? https://github.com/JetBrains/hirschgarten
