Removing Shell.GenericContainer from the IconGrid class was
challenging because it needs the "skip paint" API from it.
This API was added, too, as a workaround to the inability
to override vfuncs from GJS.
The overrides are largely copy-pasted and translated versions
of the Shell.GenericContainer code.
The IconGrid:key-focus-in signal was renamed to :child-focused
to avoid clashing with ClutterActor:key-focus-in.
In GridSearchResults, the internal IconGrid had it's y_expand
set to false, so it doesn't push other search elements (the
list results mainly) to the bottom of the screen.
Because skip paint wasn't and still isn't a GObject property,
rename it to _skipPaint to reflect that.

Pretty much like the previous patches, this extends St.Bin. The
most interesting aspect of this patch is that most of the sizing
routines of the icons is now delegated to the actors and layout
managers, removing quite a bunch of code.
The 'spacing' theme property is now redirected to StBoxLayout's
spacing property. Also adjust the Dash code to stop forcing a
potentially invalid width in the first icon too.

Ensure that the search provider operations (just getResultMetas requests
in the current implementation) in progress are properly cancelled when we
clear the UI, otherwise returned results might still be added when not
needed.
This is triggered for each provider by the SearchResults reset.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

To make search more efficient, users don't need to move the actual
keyboard focus away from the search entry to activate the first
result. However the shift+f10 shortcut to pop up the context menu
via keyboard still acts on the actually focused widget, which is
the entry. It makes more sense to open the context menu of the
selected result instead, as that's what's highlighted and responds
to keyboard activation.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Having descriptions with multiple lines will clutter
the view and make it more confusing for the user. Apart
from that, it also makes the search result a lot bigger,
potentially losing general vertical alignment.

The classes extending the SearchResult can now connect
to the 'terms-changed' signal emitted by the SearchResult
class. This signal enables each object to update its
internal description in order to apply the bold style
onto strings that match the search terms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
In order to prepare for applying the bold style to the part
of the description that matches the search terms, we need
to listen for the signal that announces the fact that the
search terms have changed. Given the fact that the
SearchResults class is aware of the changes regarding the
search terms, the classes that extent SearchResult need
to have a reference to it in order to listen for the
to-be-implemented 'terms-changed' signal.

Since results are now much more concise and take up less
space, we can use the 'saved' space to provide the user
with more search results for each provider.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749957
The current separator uses a gradient effect as a separator
between search results. As the mockups suggest, the gradient
separator is no longer needed, in favor of a more simple one,
which is a thin semitransparent line.

In order to match the current mockups, the providerIcon
class needed to include both the name of the provider
and the label that informs the user about how many more
search results are available for that specific provider.
The latter replaces the plus sign icon that has been
used so far.

In order to make gnome-shell search functionality fit on
smaller screens, like those of devices, search results
need to take advantage of more horizontal space so that
any extra space can be used efficiently.
In order to do so, change the layout of the ListSearchResult
class from a vertical one, to a horizontal one and also
decrease the padding of the list-search-result-content css
class.

Some search providers such as GNOME Characters want to copy search
results to clipboard. However, on Wayland, clipboards are only
accessible from applications that have a visible surface on display.
This patch allows a search provider to request the shell to copy a
search result to clipboard when 'clipboardText' is included in the meta
of the result.

In recent glib, change notifications don't actually happen unless all
keys have been read, in an effort to reduce unnecessary dbus
traffic for shortlived GSettings object and avoid AddMatch calls.
But we care about changes here, so we need to make sure we're
subscribed, and an easy way to do so is to reuse the same object
to watch for changes and to load the active providers at startup.

When introducing support for "default disabled" search providers
this part was overlooked, so enabling a default disabled provider
would be ignored until the next login.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746509
We check for (metasNeeded.length == 0) at the beginning of the function,
which is only ever called when when a non-zero number of results is
received back from the provider. Effectively, this means that
(metas.length != metasNeeded.length) will also catch (metas.length == 0)
and print a nicer message to the log.
The updateSearch() function is called in SearchResults every time new
search hits are available from a search provider; SearchResults will
wait for updateSearch() to complete in a callaback, to update the
overall progress of the search operation.
updateSearch() will call _ensureResultActors(), which will in turn call
getResultMetas() on the search provider, which is an operation that can
fail arbitrarily or return inconsistent data, as it's entirely in the
hands of the search provider.
In case _ensureResultActors() returns a failure, updateSearch() is
currently failing to notify the passed-in callback, which might leave
SearchResults in an inconsistent state: make sure the asynchronous flow
always ends up with a notification to the updateSearch() callback.
Checks for a duplicate search before setting the current search
to true and before cancelling the current search. This ensures that
if a duplicate search occurs while the previous search is still active,
the duplicate search will not incorrectly cancel or change the state
of the previous search.
When the overview is created, search is populated with one actor for
each provider. As they're not hidden though, they will contribute to the
overall size request of the search page, which will shift upwards the
overview grid.

This lets us considerably clean up the event flow here and change how
things are structured. It also makes sure that we never show "No
Results" -- search.js not being aware of the timeout means that it might
not think that any work was being done when we show the page.
Keep a flag depending on whether a provider is in-flight, and use that
to determine what status label to show.
This ensures that we only show "No Results" when we're done searching
and we're sure that all providers have returned results back to us.
The complexities of tracking these two things separately, with the
display on one half, and the searching on the other half, is difficult
to manage. Squash it all together.
Providers that need drag-and-drop behavior can implement this via the
createResultObject() hook (as the app search provider already does), no
need to duplicate that code in the generic result objects
(ListSearchResult already does not implement DND).

Following design mockups, animate the icons on AllView, FrequentView,
Dash and Search to zoom out when opening a new window of the app or when
the app is not running and the user execute it.

The existing code broke when commit 792b963bda changed the custom
result actor hook to return an object instead of an actor - stop
trying to go through a _delegate to make it work again.
Search providers that should be disabled by default come with
a DefaultDisabled=true key in their keyfile, and are enabled
with the "enabled" whitelist, not with the "disabled" blacklist.

Currently to know how many results we could show for GridResults
we use the width of the bin containing those results. Since it's
expanding it shouldn't be a problem. But it becomes a problem when
no results are displayed, thus the container becomes hidden and
it losts its allocation.
In the next introduction of terms in search we call again
maxDisplayedResults but it doesn't have allocation yet, and therefore no
results are displayed (currently a bug on IconGrid makes the min size =
one icon, so actually we show one and only one icon in this case).
To solve that use the parent container which contains the search results
of all providers or the text label with not displayed results, so it
always have the real available width to calculate maxDisplayedResults.
Thanks Alban Browaeys for the debugging footwork.
