Multiple CSV Files import - Feature request #4706

Description

@DoctorDib

So I have been working with CSV's using this program for a couple of weeks now, which is great by the way. There is one thing however that I believe would help people who deal with multiple CSV files. Importing each file individual is a pretty tedious process, in my opinion and I think being able to mass import the files would be a great feature.

Describe the solution you'd like
One solution that I would find most useful, is adding a feature to import multiple files that have an option to either automatically concatenate all of the data from the files or have a selection on the left hand side allowing you to select the CSV files that you would want to concatenate for that widget.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative solutions that I had thought about trying is to concatenate all of my CSVs down into one file, however it would be nice to have a solution that does not involve me physically changing the CSV files or having to create a new file all together.

Additional context
The screenshot below shows a current layout using the individual "CSV File Import" widgets, then me doing some magic towards them and then concatenating:

but what would be nice is to instead, have a layout where the concatenation process is dealt within the CSV import, for example:

Great work with Orange so far,
