gdesktopappinfo: Group search results by both categories and match types

Substring matches can have too much unwanted results, while prefix
matches is more accurate but cannot handle some special cases, this
commit combines them by adding a match_type member, then sort and group
result with both categories and match types.

For the same category, prefix matched results will be put in the first
group and substring matched results will be put in the second group.
