Currently, asynchronous search providers are expected to call
startAsync() in getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet(),
which will trigger async mode until the search is canceled or
updated. Switching between synchronous and asynchronous mode like
this makes asynchronous search an implementation detail, but being
transparent to the searchDisplay means that certain optimizations
don't work as expected. Namely, updating asynchronous search results
causes flickering, and the automatic selection never focuses
asynchronous results.
So change the API to require providers being either synchronous (with
the current getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet() methods)
or asynchronous (with asynchronous variants), and handle asynchronous
providers explicitly in searchDisplay.

renderResults() updates the results set, determines the number of
results to display, retrieves the corresponding result metas and
adds a new results actor for each meta.
Splitting the function in those parts allows to move the retrieval
of the result metas into SearchResults, which is where we ensure
flicker-free rendering and control the selection - we want to keep
both features for asynchronous result metas which we are about to
introduce.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
All classes that have at least one other derived class (and thus
benefit from the framework) have been now ported. These includes
NMDevice, SearchProvider, AltTab.SwitcherList, and some other
stuff around.

js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

As extensions are now expected to provide a "disable" function,
they need to remove search providers they added. Implement the
removal functionality and add a public removeSearchProvider()
method.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657548
Some search providers may want to change their results, or may not
want to block on an external service to get their results (DBus, etc.)
Set up an infrastructure to allow search providers to add their search
results at a later time.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre and Seif Lotfy.

The dash object is currently exposed as a public object.
It's only used outside of the overview for the dash object's
iconSize property though.
This commit makes the dash object private and proxies the dash
iconSize property to the overview.

Commit 429f809b7 fixed an exception in getDragActorSource(), but
the returned actor is only an approximation (e.g. in contrast to
the actual drag actor, it includes the label).
Try a bit harder to return the correct actor and only fall back to
the approximation when necessary.

Theme authors now have the power (and responsibility) of creating fade
effects with the new CSS length property '-st-fade-offset'. A value of
0 disables the effect.
This new CSS approach replaces the current programmatic toggle of
the 'vfade' property. A new CSS style class name 'vfade' is used as
a replacement for the old property.

When updating search results, the current result set is
recreated from scratch before setting the selection
highlight. This results in two style changes of the selected
item, and as a CSS transition is used to animate the style
change, the selected item flickers if it remains the same as
with the previous search term.
Fix by hiding the result set until the selection is set, to
avoid the transition in that case.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643632
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643632
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
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.
