Files does not compile with Vala version 0.25.4

[Jeremy Wootten]

With Vala version 0.25.4 there is a compilation failure with a "Invalid assignment from owned expression to unowned variable" error is generated from LocationBar.vala.

I haven't looked at the code but I had similar issue with my code and using "var myvar = <your expression>" helped.
(instead of redeclaring the type)

If using "var" allows compilation by both the later and earlier versions of valac then that would be preferable - I'll try it.

Unfortunately using "var" doesn't work with the GObject.get_data () function as it returns a generic type.
