libide/gui: Navigate search using Up and Down keys

Georges Basile Stavracas Neto requested to merge feaneron/gnome-builder:gbsneto/up-down-search into main

(Warning: untested code)

By default, GtkSearchEntry binds Ctrl+G and Ctrl+Shift+G to the 'next-match' and 'previous-match' action signals, respectively. That's fine, but a bit unergonimic.

There's an argument to be made about whether or not GtkSearchEntry should bind the Up and Down arrow keys too, but that's up in the air - it might be reasonable that other apps may not want this behaviour, and the toolkit shouldn't get in the way.

For now, bind the Up and Down arrow keys to the action signals of the search entry. This should make navigating through search results a little more ergonomic.
