file: Do not count children for autofs mountpoints

Nautilus currently triggers automount for autofs directories when
calculating directory item counts. This is problematic in enterprise
environments where hundreds of autofs mountpoints are commonly used.
Opening a single directory containing autofs children triggers
mounts for all of them, causing system performance degradation and
unnecessary network traffic. Let's avoid this by detecting autofs
mountpoints using `O_PATH` with `fstatfs()`, which allows checking
the filesystem type without triggering the automount.

directory-async: move callbacks to separate struct

This separates callbacks from NautilusDirectoryPrivate by using a

The new way to calculate deep counts doesn't work on gvfs backends. Take

manner. In particular remove the inode check that was done in order not
to duplicate the count for hard links. That's not applicable to these
other backends, and the implementation for checking for duplicate
inodes, was slowing down the count significantly.

previewer: Remember invoker slot

When users press the arrow keys while the previewer window has focus,
we emulate the same event on the files view.

However, we do this by taking the most recently focused window in the
NautilusApplication, which poses two problems:

* there is no warranty that the most recently focused NautilusWindow
  is the one which the previewer was launched from.
* FileChooser windows do not belong to NautilusApplication, so we are
  100% sure to get the wrong window in that case.

Instead of passing a GtkRoot window to show previewer, pass a slot
and keep a pointer to it around to reuse when emulating arrows back.

toolbar: Reserve folder search button space

When the folder search button is hidden (in Search Everywhere place),

This repositioning of the search entry is obviously undesirable.

a stack to swap the button for an empty box to act as its shadow.
The homogenous stack ensure the button alocated space is preserved.

previewer: Respond to selection events on actual window

SelectionEvent's (pushing arrow keys from the previewer window), are
emitted to all subscribers of the signal. When there's one instance
of Nautilus with a single window, this is not a problem. But when
there's multiple instances (i.e. Nautilus nightly and Nautilus, or
another subscriber to NautilusPreviewer2), the SelectionEvents
get consumed by all subscribers even though they probably don't
expect it.

This issue can be solved with the new ParentHandle property of
NautilusPreviewer2 which returns the parent window of the previewer
window. Only respond to the SelectionEvent if the ParentHandle
exists in this instance of Nautilus.

Our view click handling has an unnecessary workaround to deal with

little hard to follow and I think might be contributing to problems
such a quasi-activated state for some items.

Set the propagation phase to TARGET on the view. This works out of the
box for the GridView. ColumnView is implemented using a child
ListView, so we have to get that by looking at the child's silbing.
