gtkfilechooser: Keep GtkSearchEngine around for longer

Carlos Garnacho requested to merge carlosg/gtk:wip/carlosg/reuse-search-engine into main

Currently the GtkSearchEngine is torn down every time the search is stopped, which also means between typed characters. This prevents any of the optimizations that the GtkSearchEngine can do in the long run.

Let the GtkSearchEngine stay around for longer, and only be disposed after search is cancelled, the filechooser moves onto a different mode than search, or is otherwise unmapped/disposed.

While at it, remove an unused struct field.
