[ffe] use locate informations in the search provider

[Sebastien Bacher]

That's part of fixing bug #1732780 and making files listed in the desktop overview for the LTS (which is currently not working and a regression over Unity or upstream GNOME).

The proposed change uses "locate" as a backend (same as unity was doing), the corresponding patch is available there
https://gitlab.gnome.org/3v1n0/nautilus/blob/ubuntu-3-26/debian/patches/0019-search-engine-add-locate-based-search-engine.patch

Seems like a sensible approach --- this is to avoid tracker, right, and
so will be dropped next cycle?

Go ahead - we should get this in early to shake out bugs if there are
any.
