Description

## Context

I was trying to filter all rows in a table that had a `url` field and I was looking for all `urls` that did not end in `/`.

First I thought that allowing for `not like` would be what I needed but on more careful consideration, maybe a general negation of the filter might be better.

It is worth noting that simply allowing `not like` would cover most scenarios.


## What software versions are you using?

Postico version:
Version 1.5.20 (8940)

Research direction

The issue concerns table filtering for a url field in Postico 1.5.20, but it names no files or tests. Start by locating the table-filter entry point and determine how filter operators are represented. Done should support negating a filter, including the reported case of URLs that do not end in /.
