The main GDK thread lock is not portable and deprecated.
The only reason why gdk_threads_add_idle() and
gdk_threads_add_idle_full() exist is to allow invoking a callback with
the GDK lock held, in case 3rd party libraries still use the deprecated
gdk_threads_enter()/gdk_threads_leave() API.
Since we're removing the GDK lock, and we're releasing a new major API,
such code cannot exist any more; this means we can use the GLib API for
installing idle callbacks.

Make GtkSearchHit carry a GFile instead of an uri. Most of the
search engines already have the object around, and converting
to an uri and back is unnecessary extra work.
This search engine reuses the GFileInfo that is already loaded
for the file list, to ensure that hits from the current directory
always appear promptly.
