Adds a configurable list of applications that suppress the search shortcut when they have focus. Instead of swallowing the key event, the accelerator is dynamically ungrabbed so the application receives it natively (e.g. Ctrl+Space in IntelliJ).

Settings: new 'blacklist-apps' gsettings key (string array of desktop IDs).

Preferences: new 'Application Blacklist' section in the General page with a searchable app chooser dialog. Running applications are listed first with icons, followed by all other installed apps. Apps can be removed from the blacklist individually.
