The search entry was taking a sort of grab when it was in the
focused-but-empty state, and would eat up most events for other actors
(except, confusingly, for panel actors). The only bit of "modality" we
really need here is that the entry is supposed to go back to the
unfocused state if you click somewhere outside it when it was in the
focused-but-empty state. So do that.

The division of labor between the two was quite muddled. Rather than
try to invent a clean distinction of what belongs where, just merge
them together.

'Search your computer' is problematic for various reasons:
- it specifies the kind of device
- it focuses on local search (while we also do web search)
- it does not advertise the instant search functionality
Change the hint text to 'Type to search' as proposed by Allan Day.

For historical reasons, StEntry always did hover tracking when you had
visible hint_text, even if track_hover was FALSE. Remove that special
case, and make entries track hover just like all other widgets do.
If we actually needed to distinguish hovered-with-hint-text from
hovered-without-hint-text (which, at the moment, we don't), we could
do that by setting separate CSS for :hover and :hover:indeterminate.

As Main.overview is now usable from the view selector's constructor,
move the setup of signal connections there and remove the show/hide
methods which were used as workaround.

To enable find-as-you-type when entering the overview and disabling
it when leaving, we used a chain of functions calls from ViewSelector
over SearchTab to SearchEntry. As find-as-you-type should be enabled
while the overview is shown, the activation/deactivation can be
handled entirely by the SearchEntry itself by tying it to the entry's
visibility.

Until recently, the clutter keyboard focus was almost always kept on
the stage, and bits of code that wanted to do stuff with the keyboard
would just watch for key-press-events on the stage. In several places,
the code wasn't even bothering to ensure that the focus was on the
stage, which caused problems with other actors that explicitly grabbed
focus.
A previous fix for this (f21403fd) was to always reset the focus to
the stage after calling pushModal(), but a better fix is to just
actually make use of the keyboard focus everywhere rather than having
everyone try to read events off the stage.
Now pushModal(actor) also does actor.grab_key_focus(), and various
bits of code have been changed to read key events off their own
toplevels rather than off the stage, meaning there's no chance of them
accidentally getting someone else's events.

The view selector should only deal with view switching, so move the
logic to deal with search (find-as-you-type, cancelling a search,
navigating/activating results) into the SearchTab.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The view selector is a tabbed interface with a search entry. Starting
a search switches focus to the results' tab, ending a search moves the
focus back to the previously selected tab. Activating a normal tab
while a search is active cancels the search.
