Views: defocus the search entry by default

This patch does implement the following behavior:

- the search entry in all the views (Home (Favorites and Activity list),
  Group and Neighborhood) is unfocused by default

- the search entry can be focused by clicking in the entry or by
  starting to type

- the search entry contains a hint when unfocused and no search has been
  entered, the hint is dependent on the View you are in and matches the
  labels in the View Palettes (Frame), the existing translations have
  been reused

- the learner can defocus the entry by clicking outside somewhere in
  the view (toolbar or canvas), if no search has been entered the hint
  will be displayed again if there is a search entered it will remain
  in effect and the entry will only be unfocused, the latter will help
  to hide the OSK and see the matches for a particular search

- clicking on the clear icon in the entry ('x') the entry will be
  unfocused again
