e_exebuf searches/lists all apps and most recently used apps based

We need quick sorted access to all Apps on the system. Things like
menus and bars need quick access to the ones in their .order files.
As mentioned above, we need quick searching of them all.

Nuke the existing cache code. Replace with... Start by putting all filenames in ~/.e/e/applications/all in a hash
with "empty" E_Apps. Fill the "empty" E_Apps during idle time, also
as needed. Everytime a new .desktop file is created, add it to the
hash and put it in the directory.

it async when exebuf starts up. Later we shall see if an on disk
copy is needed.
Executing an app can probably afford to use a slow search. Border
icons could make use of bouncy icon thumbnailing. e_int_config_apps
can just show ~/.e/e/applications/all, but e_fm will need to know to
sort based on visible name. e_exebuf can also use bouncy icon
thumbnailing, but may need more speedups for its globbing.
