Keyboard navigation (arrow keys) did not clear item hover state, causing
items to retain their grey hover background after the mouse left the
window, resulting in multiple items appearing highlighted simultaneously.
Fixes#1865
Fixes associations for `.iso`, where many apps define `application/x-cd-image` instead of `application/vnd.efi.iso`.
Popsicle and GNOME Disks will now appear as exact matches for opening `.iso` files with this change.
This replaces the up/down arrow glyphs in the context menu for sort
direction with actual sort icons.
This way the icon is not dependent on the user's system font. For
example "Adwaita Sans" contains the up arrow but not the down arrow,
which means the arrow changes shape (depending on the chosen fallback
font) when you switch direction.

I took the liberty to move the icon from the end of the word to the left
side and also preserve an empty space when it's not drawn. It may need
UX approval.

Closes#1798
- The %f and %u field codes may now be expanded within a word
- Handle field code escapes (%%)
- Support the %c and %k field codes
This will notably fix desktop entries and context menu actions
that pass files as a long argument, such as `--option=%f`.
