Description

When working with maps with a large number of layers, a scripting API for expanding/collapsing GroupLayer and ObjectGroup would be very helpful.

As @bjorn suggested, this can be done by exposing the Layers and Objects views functions in the MapEditor interface.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing scripting API, focusing on GroupLayer and ObjectGroup classes. Look at the Layers and Objects views to understand how to expose their expand/collapse functions in the MapEditor interface. Review examples of similar API extensions in the codebase.
