Description
### Description
The DAGs main page looks messy when we've too many dags. What if we can create a soft foldering around it? I mean a UI-only folder structure to group DAGs. There could be 2 possible ways to group (or maybe more). The first way is grouping via subpaths under DAGS_FOLDER where the actual dag file is present. The second way is via tags. There could be a toggle button at the top to get the flat list structure as we've at present.
@bradarndt @ryanahamilton what do you guys think?
### Use case/motivation
This feature would help keep the DAGs main page neat and clean. It would also motivate the users to arrange the dags as per their functionalities.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the DAGs main page and the existing flat-list behavior. Compare grouping by DAG file subpaths with grouping by tags, and define how the toggle should work; done means the page can show an organized grouped view while retaining the current flat list.
