This widget is similar to GtkSearchEntry, but with 2 extra properties to provide a spinner and end widget, which the bar in the search page needs, and only providing a signal for search changed, rather then search started/end. BzSearchBar implements GtkEditable and GtkAccessible, to provide accessible semantics for the top level widget, by overriding `Gtk.Accessible.get_platform_state ()` to return the platform state of the GtkText contained within. This fixes an issue with Bazaar's search bars not announcing the placeholder text if they are currently empty.
Since we are using a BoxLayout in BzSearchBar with spacing 8, the extra padding is not necessary anymore
Override `GtkWidgetClass.grab_focus`, and use that to grab focus in `ensure_active` to grab focus on the search bar immediately, even when no text has been entered. This is desirable to the previous behaviour so the screen reader will always read out the placeholder text of the search bar, instead of focusing on the previously foucsed widget, which may not be the search bar and will just read out its tooltip

Draft because theres an issue with focusing the search bar causing it to somehow draw focus rings around both the end-child and the search bar when focusing into the search bar,
and I need to run clang-format again.This MR fixes quite a few of the issues I found with both keyboard navigation + screen readers I found within Bazaar
