Hello,
While Andriy is doing his vfs improvement, I did some work to polish
the file manager UI.
I added a filter bar to the bottom of the folder view which can be
turned on in the view menu.
You can type some keyword and only the files whose names contain the
keyword will be shown.
Other files are hidden from the view.
This is very handy when you have quite a lot of files in the folder.
It's an experimental feature and is only available in git.
Those who want to test it should checkout "filter" branch of both
pcmanfm and libfm.

This change also added new APIs fm_folder_model_add_filter().
Developers can install new filter functions to the folder model.
This greatly helps if we want to develop a GtkFileChooserDialog
replacement later.
(Well, this is one of the original goals of libfm in 2008, but nobody did it).

Cheers!
