d7fed32947 Bump gtk dep to 3.22 for new popup routines
Given that we bumped deps to fairly modern distros with the
python3 change, I think this is safe. gtk 3.22 is from sep 2016, it's
in debian9 and fedora 25+, which seems fine for our needs.

b19f94299b details: Add OS name view/edit, + oslist rework
This is just a big nasty commit.

Turn the OS inspection page into an always available page that
shows the libosinfo name from the domain metadata XML. Use oslist.py
and have it absorb more of the common behavior needed by create.py
and details.py. Add UI tests for it all

d52d9885c8 Redesign OS distro selection UI to be faster to use
The current OS distro selection UI is fairly cumbersome to use. First
you need to decide on a variant, then decide a distro and then look for
the version you want. The list is filtered by default so only a subset
of OS are displayed. So for less common distros you'll then need to
start again and tell it to show all OS to try to find the one you want.

The core problem is that we have an incredibly large list and want to
make it easy for the user to find a specific entry. The modern UI
paradigm for this problem is to provide interactive search with
live updated results. The current UI does provide an interactive search
facility on the OS version results, but you still have to first select a
variant to be able to use the search which is unhelpful.

This patch attempts to better apply the search UI design to the OS selection
problem. We get rid of the notion of variants, distros and version, and
provide a single text entry box in which the user can type a few letters
of the OS name. As they type, a popover displays the matching results
filtered on OS name. By default end of life OS will be hidden, so in
general there will only be a small handful of results left after just
typing a few characters. This makes it very quick to find and select the
desired OS, without needing to provide a mutli-step navigation hierarchy.
