    quick filter: Hide only when apt-xapian-index is unavailable
    
    Previously the widget wouldn't be displayed on first run as epected since
    the xapian database doesn't exist yet at this point.

    quick filter: Simplify widget hiding code

commit 1b7a816cbae1cc063d0e446c36b449778b8732de

    Revive "quick filter" by using apt-xapian-index directly without ept
    
    Users report the removal of the libept dependency caused loss of the "quick
    filter" bar which, reportedly, has better usability than Edit>Search
    feature for some users due to better relevancy of results.
    
    (Eg. try "apt" Search will return aapt as the first result whereas quick
    filter will return "apt" as first result as expected)
    
    It seems libept was hastily removed from Debian because of overall
    deprecation of debbugs, however here in synaptic none of the debbugs parts
    of libept were really used only the transitive dependency on libxapian-dev
    and two trivial API functions for xapian database handling where relevant.
    
    This commit refactors the code to depend on libxapian-dev directly and
    pulls in the trivial code to find the apt-xapain-index database file.
    
    See commit 21790e0263 ("Build without libept")
    
    Closes: #1103351
