Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the Variables view and its existing truncated content indicator. Determine how child expansion currently works, then implement loading the next 100 children on click and verify the behavior in the relevant UI tests.

Description

area: variables

Now that we have a truncated content indicator (https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/645) I feel the instinct to click on it to show the next 100 children.

This is definitely more of a nice-to-have though, and we do have the fully-fledged Data Viewer too. What do folks think?
