commit abaa8c550c9484d1c36160879e2b105cdc7e1e5e

doc: Diagram Tree update
New Diagram Tree has a bunch of fancy new features:
- nicer look, sorting more obvious (I think)
- can search for object name by simply typing it
- multiple selection (works across layers!)
- allows to transfer the selection to the diagram
- tooltips for additional information
