  Implement a DeeDirectoryModel

Bug description:
  It would be nice to have a DeeModel implementation that was
  automagically populated (and updated) reflecting the contents of a
  designated directory. The columns of the model would be implicitly set
  by specifying a set of GIO file attributes to look up on the files in
  the directory.

  I am thinking two constructors:

    /* varargs is a list of 'const gchar*' with gfile attributes */
    dee_directory_model_new (GFile *directory, ...);

    /* attribs is a NULL terminated array of strings with GFile attributes*/
    dee_directory_model_new_for_attribs (GFile *directory, const gchar **attribs)

  FIXME: This may all break down if there's no generic way to look up
  the GFileAttributeType of some file attribute

  Combined with a DeeTreeIndex this would make the Downloads section of
  the files lens trivial - and in fact if someone wanted to write a
  whole file browsing lens then that would be really easy as well.
