Description
When searching schemas/tables or in open quickly, postico seems to iterate over several server objects. That can take a long time with hundreds of schemas and thousands of tables, so we'd like to cancel that operation if it's taking too long.

Research direction
Start by tracing the search and “open quickly” entry points to see where iteration over server schemas and tables is initiated. Identify how the long-running operation reports progress and whether it has an existing cancellation path. Done means a user can cancel the operation and the server-object iteration stops cleanly.
