Fix Thunar "Show in FM" bug, better FM support (Fixes #43)

newhoa requested to merge newhoa/catfish:issue-#43-show-in-fm-not-highlighting-files-2021-07 into master

This fixes a bug when right-clicking on results and selecting "Show in File Manager" with Thunar. Thunar wasn't highlighting files with spaces in their names and would not open if a file if it had certain characters in its name (like #).

Also now opens folder locations instead of folders themselves. Previously "Open" and "Show in File Manager" had the same results.

This also adds better support for more File Managers, and support for detecting a custom File Manager if entered in exo-preferred-applications. Nautilus and Thunar now select files and folders. Nemo, and Elementary Files will now select files when opened. Selecting folders with these may be possible with dbus in the future. Fixed a problem where Caja previously errored when trying to "Show in File Manager" with files.
