hud: never allow perfect match for indicators

The old scoring algorithm would assign a penalty of one for searching
for "item" and finding "Item" (due to the case). The new algorithm
ignores case.

This caused an unintended problem: the fact that we would never get
perfect matches (due to the fact that nobody ever properly capitalised
their search strings) was a good thing. The indicator penalty is
expressed as a percentage by which to increase whatever the distance
already was, and that doesn't work well with the now-common case of a
perfect match (since 0 + 50% is still 0).

We tweak this situation by never allowing a match from an indicator have
a perfect score. If the indicator penalty is requested, then the
distance must be at least 1.

merge lp:~desrt/indicator-appmenu/no-search-tokens to check for search with no tokens before searching.

The search algorithm assumes that there will be at least one search token, so be sure not to submit any searches with zero tokens. This can happen if the user searches for " ", for example.
