[gnome-shell] remote-search: add an org.gnome.ShellSearchProvider2 dbus interface

commit b390b82e9d66c01f8951b44ee6ef21c5d5be5d1e
Author: Cosimo Cecchi <cosimoc gnome org>
Date:   Wed Dec 5 12:59:24 2012 -0500

    remote-search: add an org.gnome.ShellSearchProvider2 dbus interface
    
    We are going to change the interface, so add a new version of it.
    Providers will need to opt-in to the new API.
    A summary of the differences compared to the previous API:
    - ActivateResult() now also takes the search terms and a timestamp as
      parameters
    - a new LaunchSearch() method is added
