Update Project URL dropdown on New Project page

Coung Ngo requested to merge 26732-update-new-project-page-dropdown into master

What does this MR do?

The Project URL dropdown on the New Project page currently renders all groups. When there are thousands of groups, the page can take seconds to load.

This MR updates the dropdown to avoid rendering all groups. Filtering from user search is done on the backend instead of the frontend.

This change is behind the feature flag paginatable_namespace_drop_down_for_project_creation, which was recently introduced in the associated backend MR !66112 (merged)

Issue: #26732 (closed)
