- register the tool in the translated registry and extend the English
translations with the new strings
- wire up the backend endpoints through a new operation hook and
form-data serialization helpers

# Description of Changes
TLDR:
- Added `naturalCompare` function to handle alphanumeric sorting
- Updated `sortFiles` logic to use `naturalCompare` for filename sorting
- Passed `naturalCompare` as dependency in sorting callback
This pull request improves the file sorting logic in the `Merge` tool to
provide a more natural, human-friendly ordering of filenames (e.g.,
"file2" now comes before "file10" instead of after). The main change is
the introduction of a custom `naturalCompare` function that is used when
sorting files by filename.
File sorting improvements:
* Added a `naturalCompare` function to sort filenames in a way that
handles numeric portions naturally, ensuring files like "file2" are
ordered before "file10" (`frontend/src/core/tools/Merge.tsx`).
* Updated the file sorting logic to use `naturalCompare` instead of the
default `localeCompare` when sorting by filename
(`frontend/src/core/tools/Merge.tsx`).
* Ensured the `sortFiles` callback properly depends on the new
`naturalCompare` function (`frontend/src/core/tools/Merge.tsx`).
Note: the sort on upload is natural sort (at least I think so I haven't
checked the code), this is only relevant after upload, and you click the
sort button again
