Florian Müllner f6749fb204 search: Add RemoteSearchProvider
Add an asynchronous search provider for results from a DBus service
implementing the org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider interface; this
will allow applications to hook into the Shell's search without
implementing it in Shell itself or requiring an extension.
