This huge commit is a nearly complete rewrite of the Dolphin search
code. It implements most of the improved Dolphin search UI/UX as
designed and discussed in a collaborative effort by Kristen McWilliam,
Jin Liu, Andy Betts, Tagwerk, a few others and me.
See https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/issues/46.
# Notable changes
- A toggle to change the search tool is provided as most contributors
deemed that useful in
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/642#note_985112.
- The default search is changed to filenamesearch for maximum
reliability.
- Removing all search parameters will take users back to the view state
prior to starting a search instead of keeping the search results open.
- The UI for choosing file types or modification dates has been made
more powerful with more granularity and more options.
- Most search parameters can be configured from a popup menu which
gives us extra space for extra clarity.
- Labels and help buttons as well as hyperlinks to settings makes sure
the user always knows why some search parameters are unavailable in
some contexts.
- Chips show important search parameters while the popup is closed.
They allow quickly removing filters.
- The titles of the search and the input field placeholder message
change to make clear whether file names or file contents are searched.
- When the user actively switches the search tool, whether content
should be searched, or whether to search everywhere, this is preserved
for the initial state of the search bar when the user opens it the next
time after restarting Dolphin.
# Architecture
- The new DolphinQuery class is independent of the UI and contains all
search parameters modifiable in Dolphin as easy setters and getters.
- DolphinQuery objects are also used to update the states of every
component in the search UI. There is now a clear separation of UI and
search configuration/DolphinQuery.
- DolphinQuery is responsible for exporting to and importing from
search URLs.
- The search UI always reflects the currently configured DolphinQuery
no matter if the user changed the UI to change the DolphinQuery or
loaded a DolphinQuery/older search URL which then is reflected in the
UI.
- I tried to simplify all classes and their interaction between each
other as much as possible.
- I added some tests

Before this commit pressing the free space button when Filelight
is not installed would show a singular action called "Install
Filelight to View Disk Usage Statistics…". Pressing this button
would open the store page for Filelight. This is an okay user
experience, but we can do better.
This commit makes it so pressing the free space button when
Filelight is not installed shows an attractive UI that makes clear
that freeing up disk space can be accomplished nicely by installing
Filelight. The "Install Filelight…" button on this UI is connected
to PackageKit directly, so we do not need to show a separate store
like Discover and instead trigger an installation right then and
there. For this, the recently introduced DolphinPackageInstaller
KJob is used.
Installation progress is reported through the status bar similar to
the progress reporting of slowly loading directories or searches.
Installation failure or success is ultimately shown within Dolphin
as a passive notification above the view.
On Microsoft Windows or when PackageKit is not available, the
install button will only open a store page for Filelight.

The application launching Dolphin passes a token via the XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN environment variable
We need to pass that to the running instance so that it can use it to raise itself

The selection mode action is a checkable toggle action named
"Select Files and Folders" which has "Space" as the default
shortcut.
In selection mode a bottom bar with contextual actions is shown.
These should mostly mirror the actions which are available through
the right-click context menu aka DolphinContextMenu.
Resizing of the window might make a overflow button appear in the
bottom selection mode bar.
This commit makes press and hold in the view activate selection
mode. This behaviour is not triggered if the press and hold is
used to either start a rubberband selection or a drag operation
within a short time. The length of the short timeframe is defined
by a QStyleHint. This is currently not implemented in touch
because I can't test it.
Mix the selection mode bars' background colors using a nice
combination of colors from the current color scheme

adds a method to ask what's the sorting strategy (column and order) for a particular Url, as Dolphin can have directory-specific sorting strategies
This makes possible for other apps that have lists of files, like Gwenview to use the same sorting when invoked from dolphin, ie opening an image

Have the secondary ViewContainer slide into/out of view when split view mode is switched on or off by the user.
This should help users understand what split view mode is about. Without the animation it might seem like the only thing the button does is creating a weird vertical line in the middle of the view or something. With the animation it should be clear that the second view is a separate entity that was added. The closing animation will help users understand which of the ViewContainers was just closed.

Unfortunately licensedigger does not strip the trailing * characters.
While at it, use a common style for all source files.

This is the value used in QML-based software, so now Dolphin's form
layout settings dialogs look consistent.

Summary:
All modern web browsers offer a function to show tabs from last time when a browser starts, and many apps today
restore their prior state when they're launched. This patch implements thatfunctionality as an option and turns it on by default.
The settings window is accordingly adjusted to be clear about what applies when:
{F7681752}
FEATURE: 413564
FIXED-IN: 20.08.0
Depends on D25106
Depends on D25219
Test Plan:
With the new setting turned off:
- No behavioral changes at all
With the new setting turned on:
- When launched from the GUI or CLI without any URLs, dolphin restores session
- When rebooting with Dolphin open, it restores session normally after the system comes back (i.e. no behavioral change here)
- When launched with URLs, Dolphin window is opened showing those URLs instead of restoring session
- When Dolphin is already running and a new window is opened, that new window shows a single tab with the same URL as was visible in the previously-open Dolphin instance (i.e. no behavioral change here)
- "Open Containing folder" functionality in other apps works regardless of whether or not Dolphin is running

Summary:
`dolphin --daemon` does not have the `/dolphin/Dolphin_1` dbus path,
because it doesn't have any DolphinMainWindow.
Instead of working around this issue (as we did in D21666 and D25510),
just exclude these processes from the list of dbus instances checked by
`Dolphin::attachToExistingInstance()`.

Summary:
Reduce the spacing between widgets and remove the content margins on the extended search options to have a more compact and space-saving layout.
Currently, some widgets are not even aligned.
This will be even more important if we remove the toggle button for 'More Options'.

Summary:
FEATURE: 183429
FIXED-IN: 19.08.0
GUI: new cli argument --new-window
Externally called files/directories are opened in a a new tab of an instance of Dolphin that already exists. If any of the given URIs are already open in a tab, then those tabs are activated instead of a new tab being opened. If there is no instance then the files/directories are opened in a new window. The newly opened file/directory has its tab activated, and consequently, the window is also activated.
When the user clicks "Open In New Window" or "Detach Tab", the files/directories are opened in a new window.
Test Plan:
[Manual]
Before testing, set the default file manager in system settings as the newly built Dolphin executable.
One must also include the new dolphin executable in the $PATH, otherwise some functions will attempt to open the system dolphin instead of the new one.
Furthermore, running two different versions of Dolphin (in particular, where one does not have this patch included) can result in bugs appearing, in particular, new tabs not opening as old instances will not recognise the DBus commands sent to it. However, I see no reason why a user will have two different versions of Dolphin (apart from people like us :D).
Open directories with the help of auxillary programs (i.e. a browser). The files/directories should appear in a new window if an instance does not exist. If an existence already exists, then a new tab should be opened and activated in that instance and the window activated.
Use QDBusViewer to open folders/items by calling the ShowFolders/ShowItems methods in org.freedesktop.FileManager1 of the Dolphin instance.
When a user chooses to "Open In New Window"/"Detach Tab" then the files/directories should be opened in a new window.
