  Impossible to select item using keyboard if folder has only one item

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  If folder opened in Nautilus contains only one item (file or folder),
  it is impossible to select such item using a keyboard (arrow keys,
  without using mouse pointer). This is caused by a GTK4 bug which
  affects only or mostly Nautilus.

  This is a big problem for visually impaired users.

  Here is an upstream ticket and the mentioned fix:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3078
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6354

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. In a terminal, run
     $ mkdir ~/test-folder
     $ touch ~/test-folder/foo
  2. Open Files (nautilus)
  3. With the keyboard arrows, highlight the "test-folder" directory
  4. Press Enter to navigate into the directory
  5. Press any keyboard arrow
  6. Verify that the "foo" file is highlighted
  7. Click Enter to invoke on action on the file
  8. Verify that the file opened in your text editor

  [ Regression Test Plan ]

  1. Open Settings (gnome-control-center)
  2. Navigate to System > Date & Time
  3. Disable "Automatic Time Zone"
  4. Click "Time Zone"
  5. Verify that you're able to navigate the list of timezones with the keyboard arrows.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The patch impacts navigating the following Gtk4 widgets with the keyboard:
  * GtkListView
  * GtkGridView
  * GtkColumnView

  A problem may manifest as broken keyboard navigation in GTK4
  applications that use one of those widgets. The Regression Test Plan
  verifies that at least one other application using GtkListView does
  not regress.
