feat(ui): add TableSection abstraction for list views

[JarrodMFlesch]

Summary

Refactors hierarchy tables and group-by tables to use a shared layout abstraction called TableSection. Previously these two table types had inconsistent padding, headers, and dividers—hierarchy tables used custom margins while group-by tables had their own styling. Now both share the same compound component structure with consistent 48px headers, proper dividers between grouped sections, and unified action slot positioning for bulk selection and pagination.

The pagination controls in both table types now use SimplePagination, a minimal prev/next component that fits within the table header. This replaces the larger pagination component that was awkward in grouped contexts.

Also adds GroupByControl, a dropdown for selecting the group-by field that adapts to the current theme. The theme prop propagates from Popup through PopupList to RadioGroup items, allowing the control to render correctly in both light and dark mode contexts.

Minor fixes include preventing scroll jumps when list query params update and handling undefined fields in WhereBuilder conditions.
