feat: Add --indicate-deeper-levels Flag to eza --tree

Current Issue: Using eza --tree --level=n currently provides no indication of additional nested levels, which can lead to confusion about directory contents when only a limited depth is shown.
Proposed Solution: Introduce a --indicate-deeper-levels flag to mark directories that have further levels beyond the specified depth. A simple indicator (e.g., ...) would clarify that deeper levels exist, improving clarity without altering the specified --level setting.
