ACSD-47137: improve image gallery loading speed when pub/media folder big

The patch ID is ACSD-47137. Please note that the issue is scheduled to be fixed in Adobe Commerce 2.4.6.

Affected products and versions

The patch is created for Adobe Commerce version:

• Adobe Commerce (all deployment methods) 2.4.4

Compatible with Adobe Commerce versions:

• Adobe Commerce (all deployment methods) 2.4.4 - 2.4.5-p1

Issue

The loading speed of the image gallery is slow when the pub/media folder is very big.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the Adobe Commerce Admin > [!UICONTROL STORES] > [!UICONTROL Settings] > [!UICONTROL Configuration] > [!UICONTROL Advanced] > [!UICONTROL System] > [!UICONTROL Media Gallery] > [!UICONTROL Enable Old Media Gallery] to No.
2. Clean the config cache.
3. Log out and log in as an admin user again.
4. On the Admin sidebar, go to [!UICONTROL Catalog] > [!UICONTROL Categories] and select the root category.
5. Expand the [!UICONTROL Content] section and click on [!UICONTROL Select from Gallery].

When loading the page, Adobe Commerce sends media_gallery/directories/gettree request to load the media folder tree.

Expected results:

The media_gallery/directories/gettree request should load content only from the necessary directories, other than looping the entire path list from the pub/media/ folder.

Actual results:

The media_gallery/directories/gettree request takes a long time to load when the pub/media/ folder has lots of content.
