Bug Description

Impact
------
This is a new stable release in the GNOME 44 series

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/blob/44.2.1/NEWS

(The current version in Ubuntu 23.04 is 44.0)

Test Case 0
-----------
Nautilus has a build test suite that will fail the build if the tests fail.

Test Case 1
-----------
Install the update
Make sure that Nautilus isn't running, either by logging out and logging back in or by running pkill nautilus
Run Nautilus and ensure that it still works well

Test Case 2
-----------
1. Install the update
2. Run pkill nautilus to ensure all open nautilus windows are closed
3. Open Nautilus
4. Click Ctrl+N to open a second Nautilus window
5. In the first Nautilus window, open the Preferences dialog. This dialog is modal to this window (can't be moved away from centered in the window). Close Preferences. Close this window.
6. In the second Nautilus window, open the Preferences dialog. The preferences dialog should be modal to the window (and it should not crash).

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2986

Test Case 3
-----------
1. Install the update
2. Open a terminal and run sudo apt install gnome-sushi
3. Open Nautilus
4. Open the preferences dialog and turn on Expandable Folders in List View. Close the preferences dialog.
5. Press Ctrl+l to focus the address bar and enter /usr/share
6. Use the space bar to open the Sushi previewer on one of the folders
7. With the Sushi preview window open, use the down arrow keys to navigate down to other folders. Keep going down until you go beyond the first page of results in Nautilus.

The main nautilus window should scroll down to show these results focused.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
nautilus is the default GUI file browser for Ubuntu Desktop. Other desktop flavors use other file browsers.

As a component of GNOME Core, there is a micro-release exception for nautilus

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

Other Info
----------
This update requires gtk4 4.10.4 (LP: #2023031)

This update drops 4 cherry-picked patches that have been applied in the new release

It also cherry-picks 3 patches from the stable gnome-44 branch (future nautilus 44.3).

It also includes a patch included in 44.2 but dropped from 44.2.1 because it was not clear how long it would take for gtk4 4.10.4 to be released. But gtk 4.10.4 was released only a few hours later.
