playlist: implement type-ahead search in the playlist widget

It would be nice if type-ahead search worked in the playlist widget, so that
you can jump to a particular song just by typing a few letters/words from its
filename/displayname or URI.

Probably a dupe of bug 313343.

Won't this break other "unmodified" keybindings (such as 'P' for play/pause, etc.)?

Ah yes, looks like it, sorry. The patch here is complementary to the one in the other bug though.

I don't think so. It doesn't take over any key handling in addition to what's already done now.

It's only active if the playlist actually has focus, and if that is the case, special keys are not handled and passed to the treeview already in the current code (which will pop up a little search window at the bottom right of the playlist widget, but just not actually act on the stuff you type in).

Meeh, probably not any worse than before.

Feel free to commit both to master, and we'll have a couple of months to iron out the problems.
