Whenever the AllView needs (re)populating, we used to do one general
g_app_info_get_all() to get all GAppInfo, plus one per app folder in order
to check the ones that fall within that category. This calls results in a
fair amount of I/O blocking the main loop.
In order to ease this, keep the GAppInfo list around in AllView, and make
the AppFolders use it when figuring out the contained apps. Since reloading
the AllView results in AppFolders regenerated from scratch, the app info
list is ensured to be up-to-date for any later change within the AppFolder
(eg. through the GSettings key changing).
As the list was already filtered in the first place, we can also remove
the try{}catch() in AppFolder in order to discard desktop files with
invalid encoding.
