Modeled after GTK Places sidebar. For internal use now.

We toyed with this. It really sucks that we can't just use the existing
sidebar and add our PKCS#11 tokens to it.

Stef's proposal at GUADEC was to turn the existing 'click here to open
a (file)chooser' widget into a drop-down. You click it and instead of
just popping up what's *currently* a file chooser (but which we want to
extend to cover PKCS#11 too), it gives a drop-down with all the PKCS#11
tokens you can choose from, plus "Select from file...".

If you choose a token, you get a PKCS#11 chooser which has *just* that
token (no sidebar). And if you choose 'Select from file...' you
obviously get the file chooser.

There are some details to be worked out regarding certs from one
location and keys from another, but I think that approach can work and
can keep things relatively simple.
