## Compact Essence filter UI
The former five-button MTG `WUBRG` filters are replaced in both Visual Deck Storage and Visual Database. On either screen, click `Essence: Any` to open a **5-column × 3-row** grid of the complete Essence set. Each icon can be toggled independently and the menu stays open for multiple selections. Use **Clear Essence selection** to reset. The button summarizes your selection, and the original mode control still chooses Exact Match / Includes / Excludes (or Include / Exclude in the database).
The picker is a single reusable Qt widget (`essence_filter_picker.h/.cpp`). This keeps both screens synchronized with `Essence::symbols()` without repeating a hand-maintained UI list. The UI uses SVG assets from `icons/essence/`, never old MTG `icons/mana/` assets.
