The old expected behaviour was that pressing Space would select
the current item. We now trigger selection mode instead and don't
select. At some point in the future we might want to instead have
Space trigger a "QuickLook" feature for quick viewing of full
files. In any case, the old behaviour of having Space select is
no longer expected, but Ctrl+Space can still be used for this.
It might also make sense to have Space trigger the old selection
behaviour if both selection mode and "QuickLook" are disabled, but
that is very low priority and will cause more code complexity than
the non-default benefits are worth.
(cherry picked from commit df5cf6fe85)
Before this commit, the "Space" keyboard shortcut was bound to
triggering selection mode by default. After this commit, pressing
"Space" will only trigger selection mode when the file view area
has keyboard focus.
Pros:
+ Other buttons in the UI can be triggered with Space once again
just like it is expected from an accessibility point of view.
+ "Type-ahead" searching works once more when typing the space
char for file names containing such a space char.
Cons:
- "Space" can no longer be used to add the currently underlined
item to the selection. Instead "Ctrl+Space" needs to be used.
(However, this is the current status anyway unless a user has
manually unbound "Space" as a shortcut from Selection Mode.)
- The Selection Mode action will no longer show "Space" as its
shortcut in menus.
Overall, I see solutions to all of these problems, but they seem
over-engineered for the issues they are trying to solve, so I
believe this somewhat small commit is the best solution for now.

(cherry picked from commit 44c82a16b3)
Symlink contents should not be visited for the purpose of displaying sizes.
Not only is potentially misleading because the storage is actually used
elsewhere (the target location), it can be completely wrong as contents can
be visited multiple times, even recursively.
