For express mode:
- Move the search bar up to the toolbar.
- Hide the "filter" combo box and lock down the first item.
- Hide the "scope" combo box and lock down the first item.
(This is the combo box with "Current Folder" only in the mailer.)
- EShellView owns the search bar widget now instead of EShellContent.
- Insert several nasty hacks that will likely come back to bite me.

Introduce e_extensible_list_extensions(), which provides extensible
objects access to their own extensions, or a subset of them.
Convert EShellBackend to an abstract EExtension subtype. EShell will
load its extensions with e_extensible_load_extensions(), and then obtain
a list of EShellBackend extensions as follows:
shell_backends = e_extensible_list_extensions (
E_EXTENSIBLE (shell), E_TYPE_SHELL_BACKEND);
Because EShellBackend is abstract, its GType is skipped while traversing
the GType hierarchy to find EShell extensions.
This demonstrates how to extend EShell without having to modify and
recompile e-shell.c. If NetworkManager integration is enabled, the
extension is loaded automatically when the EShell is created.
The same pattern can be applied to integrate other network monitoring
software like ConnMan or Microsoft's Wireless Zero Configuration.
We can't require the use of EUIManager everywhere because we don't
control all the UI manager instances -- the most compelling example
being the composer, whose UI manager comes from GtkhtmlEditor.
Instead, EPluginUI will check the instance type and pick an appropriate
"load_from_string" function.
Replace the EVO_EXPRESS environment variable with an --express command
line option. (Note, this adds a new translatable string for --help.)
Add an EUIManager class with an "express-mode" property and custom load
functions that use our new "express" preprocessor. This replaces the UI
manager functions in e-utils.c.
(Also going to see if I can get GTK+ to add an "add_ui_from_string"
method to GtkUIManagerClass that we can override. Then we could just
call gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string() and the preprocessor would
automatically do its thing and chain up.)
Add an "express-mode" read-only GObject property to EShell.
Add e_shell_configure_ui_manager() to e-shell-utils.c. For now this
just creates a one-way property binding:
EShell:express-mode -> EUIManager:express-mode
Call this immediately after e_ui_manager_new(). (EUIManager can't do
this itself because it lives too low in the dependency hierarchy and
doesn't know about EShell.)
Added em_account_editor_get_widget, and cleaned up the widget listing.
Cleaned the startup wizard code to find it's label by name
Added disabling of power-user 'indentity' frame in the first page express capplet.
Avoids blocking the UI in case the save triggers an fsync() which, on
ext3, synchronizes the entire filesystem. The logic is a bit tricky
because we want to limit the frequency of saves and only run one save
operation at a time, but we also want to do an immediate last-ditch
save before finalizing the shell view.
