Additional filters in the Teams search

Teams has been enhanced with additional filtering options. After a search Teams shows the filtering for Messages, People, Files, Group Chats, or Teams and Channels. Compared to Teams Classic, Group chats and teams/channels have been added.
With the Teams/Channels filter users can search for a specific Teams or Channel name (they must be a member of the Team or Channel).
