This modification reduces the faulty clearing and redrawing of the
results. The old code refreshed the view for every async
search provider by iterating through all result sets (one result set per
provider) and refreshing all providers. In this case there were 40
redraws. This patch adds a new method _clearDisplayForProvider that
allows us to refresh only providers with changed results.
Increase the icon size of search results for consistency with the
application view. To account for the larger icons, only display
a single row of results per section.

Search results' meta info currently is expected to have an 'icon'
property holding a Clutter.Texture of a fixed icon size. This
property is used to implement the createIcon() function of BaseIcon,
which is used to actually display the result, ignoring the size
parameter due to the fixed icon size.
Given that all available search providers create this property for
the desired icon size using a function with the same signature, it
appears logical to replace the fixed-sized 'icon' property with
such a function, so that the icon size will be defined by the display
actor rather than the search system.

Currently section headers in the search view are reactive and run
the corresponding provider's expandSearch() function when clicked,
which should launch an external program displaying all search
results for the section. Unfortunately it is only implemented for
the "Settings" provider, and does not work properly (as it ignores
the search and just launches System Settings).
Also current mockups deemphasize the section header, making the
feature pretty much indiscoverable (except by accident when
interfering with swipe-scrolling).
In conclusion, the feature does not make much sense in its current
form, so remove it.

Currently the total number of matches for a particular section is
displayed on the left of the section's header. While it made sense
in the old layout where it was close to the section's title, it is
now rather disconnected, and has been removed in current mockups.

With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)

For historical reasons, we had both StClickable and StButton, which
were nearly identical. StButton was more widely-used, so keep that and
port all StClickable users to that.

Current mockups display all search results as icons as used by
application results, so change the default result display to use
iconGrid/BaseIcon. Remove the custom application results display,
as it is no longer needed.

With the new layout, search results will be displayed in an independent
view like window previews, applications and possible future additions;
it does not make much sense keeping it with the switching logic, so move
the code to its own file.
Also remove the dash-prefix from the relevant style classes.
