nautilus-toolbar-view-menu: Sort by creation time for icon view

Abhijeet Patil requested to merge abhijeet/nautilus:abhijeet/sort-view into main

given sort options is not useful in the case of commonly used directories when downloading/resuming a torrent changes the modification date. Adding a "sort by creation time" option will be helpful for sorting directories with a lot of folders in it where you keep changing the contents of the folders.

added an option in toolbar-view-menu "First Created" using which user can sort by creation time (NAUTILUS_FILE_SORT_BY_BTIME).

for this, created GtkModelButton object with id:"sort_creation_date" in nautilus-toolbar-view-menu.ui and action is specified via “action-name” and “action-target” properties.with 'creation-date' as a “action-target" and NautilusFileSortType NAUTILUS_FILE_SORT_BY_BTIME we compared files using compare_by_time() method, and sorted by creation time.

Closes : #1859
