Nautilus leaks memory for each recent engine search

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

Nautilus leaks memory when a search is performed on recent files manager, both for the query itself and the recent item that is checked.

Also on destruction, it might happen that nautilus double-unref an object.

[ Test case ]

1. Search something from gnome-shell overview or nautilus itself
2. Monitoring memory usage should not change too much
3. Nautilus should not crash on close.

[ Regression potential ]

Search on recent files doesn't return anything.

This is already fixed in nautilus 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu7 (cosmic)
