    bgo#687196 - Fix model corruption during file removal · ea3a750f

    The main problem is that we were emitting the row-deleted signal for the model in the middle
    of the process that actually deletes the row from the model (remove the row from the array,
    update the model->file_lookup hash table, etc.).  In the model's caller, one of the row-deleted
    callbacks was requesting an iter, which caused the model to revalidate itself - but it did
    this while it was in an inconsistent state.  This led to an assertion failure later when the
    model resorted itself.
    
    The fix in remove_file() is like this:
    
    * The filteredness/visibility of the deleted node is not updated.  The
      node will simply be gone; we don't need to update those values at
      all.
    
    * We invalidate just the node that is being deleted.
    
    * The model->file_lookup hash table is not completely nuked; instead,
      we carefully adjust its indices.
    
    * The row-deleted signal is only emitted at the very end, when
      deletion is complete and the model is consistent.
    
    Many thanks to William Hua for doing the detective work on this bug!
