Add the ability to expand/collapse the list in Outllne View

Add the ability to expand and collapse the outline view list.
Currently it shows as one list and if many items are in the list you have to scroll to find the item you are looking for.


Use Case:

When in the workspace and the outline view is showing a lot of detail, it would be helpful to have an icon in the outline view to collapse all the lower levels into just the higher levels.
Also, add the expand feature.
(See OutlineViewCollapse.)

    Additional comments from Thomas:
    We also want some preferences to turn this on and off. It appears
    there is currently not a way to turn it off. When working with a slow
    connection it causes the editor scrolling and updating to stutter, I
    get the little circle and have to wait.
