[Bug Report][3.9.7] VTreeview won't automatically expand searched items' parents

[smellyshovel]

Environment

Vuetify Version: 3.9.7
Vue Version: 3.5.13
OS: Linux undefined (current)

Steps to reproduce

1. Type "TEST" into the search field
2. The "John" node is not expanded

Expected Behavior

The tree should reveal its items in such a manner so that the found items are visible.

Actual Behavior

That doesn't happen. If the parent of the item being searched for is in its collapsed state before the search, it won't be expanded after.

Other comments

There's a similar issue: #8497, but I don't see the mentioned props anymore in the documentation. It seems outdated.

I opened a PR that addresses the behavior. The original issue mentions possibly gating this behind a prop. If that’s still something the maintainers want, I can add it in this PR.
