Add search to "Represents Character" drop-down in Token controls

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest having the ability to search for a name when selecting what character sheet the token represents.

Having a lot of monsters in the game leaves this flooded with npc's and creatures (and even miscellaneous character sheets like lighting sources, bags of holding, spell props etc) that make it a minor inconvenience for attaching a specific token. Even if you could quickly key a set of letters to fast track through the list could be helpful.

You can just start typing and it will take you down through the list.  The down side is that if you mistype something and your string of letters no longer fit a name in the list, it treats the typo as the beginning letter of your search.  Hitting the first couple letters should get you close though.

Huh! Well there you go. I swear I'd tried that before and it didn't work for me. But it did just now, so thank you
