List and grid need the same query, selection and visibility lifecycle. The list view adopts it in the next commit; the grid view arrives built on it.
Day bands, sitting folds and inline ticks over the classic list. The shell now touches PangoCairo at draw time, so its version is declared with the other gi requirements.

The list view becomes a timeline. Entries fall into day bands, and the entries a child made in one stretch of work fold into a single row you can open.
two commits:
grid view both need.
Builds on #1112.
Notes:
Testing:
91 journal tests pass at this commit, 15 of them new for the base class. The drawing code needs a running GTK, which the test suite doesn't have, so I verified that part in a live shell: the timeline renders, sittings fold and unfold, the view updates when an entry is added or changed, and the logs show no new tracebacks.
basejournalview.py is added to Makefile.am and POTFILES.in.
