83cb26d70e js: Adapt to GSettings API change
The 'schema' property has been deprecated for a long time. Even though
this will likely be reverted in glib, let's stop using it.

da4238ec68 Synchronize shell startup
The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.

Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.

9cd7ea9371 search: Make the internal search interface callback-based
Long ago, the search system worked in a synchronous manner: providers
were given a query, and results were collected in a single array of
[provider, results] pairs, and then the search display was updated
from that.

We introduced an asynchronous search system when we wanted to potentially
add a Zeitgeist search provider to the Shell in 3.2. For a while, search
providers were either async or sync, which worked by storing a dummy array
in the results, and adding a method for search providers to add results
later.

Later, we removed the search system entirely and ported the remaining
search providers to simply use the API to modify the empty array, but the
remains of the synchronous search system with its silly array still
lingered.

Finally, it's time to modernize. Promises^WCallbacks are the future.

Port the one remaining in-shell search engine (app search) to the new
callback based system, and simplify the remote search system in the
process.

be961cd60e remoteSearch: Load remote search providers synchronously
As we only reload search providers on startup or when the sort order changes,
and given the small number of search providers we'll actually load, I doubt
we'll see any speed decrease.

The simplicity of synchronous code is also much clearer, and fully avoids
all the possible bugs about in-flight requests or similar.

This also prevents issues with multiple search providers showing up at once,
which happen when multiple requests to reload search providers get called
immediately, with the existing in-flight async requests never cancelled.

37e2b60cd3 search: Rename pushResults to setResults
pushResults, and the original async search API, were originally intended
so search results that weren't immediate could be added as they come in.
Since then, we've decided that the design of search results is that they
should finish at once with all results. Thus, the code was modified so
that pushResults always overwrote the current result set. As such, it makes
sense to rename the method so that the name matches the behavior.

17df668186 remoteSearch: support serialized GIcons
Since [1], GIO supports generic serialization and deserialization of a
GIcon into a GVariant. This is also implemented by GdkPixbuf and could be
used instead of our homegrown code for it.

This commit adds support to another 'icon' key in the metas dictionary
returned by applications for it. The previous 'gicon' and 'icon-data'
keys are still parsed and supported as before, but are now deprecated.

e7886734c4 search: fix description of results
"description" is documented as a valid field for search result metas,
and ListSearchResults implements it, so pass it down to be used.
Also, don't wrap the description in quotes, so that the search provider
can decide if it is an excerpt from the searched text or something else.
And to that extent, set use_markup to true, so that terms can be
highlighted.

10c104529f remote-search: initialize the DBus proxy asynchronously
Initializing this synchronously means that we will possibly wait for the
process to be auto-activated and answering to our call.
If the process is already running it also might not answer immediately
our request, as it might be doing sync I/O.
The right thing to do is to initialize the proxy asynchronously; there
are try/catch blocks in place for when the object is not available, or
not properly initialized.

8e7758e280 remote-search: require a DesktopId field in search providers
Remote search providers install an auxiliary keyfile to specify
static information, such as the object path/bus name needed to activate
the binary. Such keyfiles also specify the application the providers
pushes results for; currently, we support two formats for application
information
- two fields, "Title" and "Icon" that specify a (translatable) title and
  an icon name for display
- one field "DesktopId" that specifies the desktop file name of the
  application backing the provider, which obsoletes the previous
  Title/Icon syntax

Since all providers in GNOME use DesktopId now, and we need to ensure a
remote search providers is always backed by an application for future
development, this commit drops the support for the older syntax.

56dc2eb96e remoteSearch: Don't add providers more than once
Currently we load all search providers from XDG_DATA_DIRS, so if
the same provider is installed several times in different directories,
we happily show duplicate results. To fix, keep track of all remote
providers we add and skip those that already have been loaded from a
different directory.

bc91b7dcae remoteSearch: Parse 'DesktopId' field in key file
We strongly expect applications to use the same values for the
'Title'/'Icon' fields in their search provider .ini file as the
'Name'/'Icon' fields in their .desktop file. Rather than requiring
applications to duplicate those fields, allow them to specify a
'DesktopId' field instead to point to the corresponding .desktop
file, which makes it possible to ship search provider files without
translatable strings (which is nice given that merging translations
into search provider files lacks a standard rule).
