Add new "Open With" dialog

António Fernandes requested to merge wip/antoniof/new_open_with into master

To replace the ugly old one and the page in properties.

This was coded during Mini GUADEC Berlin 2022 and has got design review and approval as a solution for version 43.

For 44, we should drop GtkAppChooserWidget completely and replace it with propper modern boxed lists without any GtkTreeView involved.

Rationale for merging the "set as default" feature from properties into this:

  • One less thing in Properties.
  • Properties is for a single file, yet it would set the default app for all files of that type, not only the one whose properties we were seeing.
  • Due to glib#1026 people feel at lost when using the Open With dialog with no intuitive way to set a default.
