workspacesView: Disable workspace switching while in search

Sebastian Keller requested to merge skeller/gnome-shell:disable-workspace-switching-in-search into main 
WorkspacesDisplay connects to key-press-event on the stage to switch
workspaces when page up or down is pressed and nothing else intercepts
these keys. This means that it is still possible to switch workspaces
while they are hidden behind the search.

So only allow these keybinding while the WorkspacesDisplay is reactive
which gets updated by ControlsManager depending on whether there is an
active search or not. Also set it as initially reactive, because
otherwise the keybindings would only work after performing an initial
search.
