Add ability to update file paths for externally managed models (models with absolute paths). Invoke-controlled models (with relative paths in the models directory) are excluded from this feature to prevent breaking internal model management. - Add ModelUpdatePathButton component with modal dialog - Only show button for external models (absolute path check) - Add translations for path update UI elements

…ernalModel function now detects: Unix absolute paths: /home/user/models/... Windows drive paths: C:\Models\... or D:/Models/... Windows UNC paths: \\ServerName\ShareName\... or //ServerName/ShareName/...

The UNC path issue is fixed. However, I ran into a gotcha! I changed the path of an external model to an invalid path name: "fee fie foe fum" and saved it. Now the "Update Path" button is gone and I have no user-accessible way of changing the path name back. Should there be a check that the entered path points to a valid file, or at least that it has a format that matches the check for external paths? |

Address possibility that user will enter a path that does not match the external path detection rules.
… paths When updating an external model's path, the new path is now validated to ensure it follows an absolute path format (Unix, Windows drive, or UNC). This prevents users from accidentally entering invalid paths that would cause the Update Path button to disappear, leaving them unable to correct the mistake.
…uchensack/InvokeAI into feature/model-update-path
…endency Moves the isExternalModel utility function to its own file to break the circular dependency between ModelView.tsx and ModelUpdatePathButton.tsx.

It is no longer possible to set a path that is not recognized as a path |
