Eeschema: Fix/circumvert GTK3 tree view bug

There is a rendering bug in GTK3, which appears to be
an upstream GTK issue.

This can be worked around by, when filtering, ensuring the
*parent* item of the selected item is visible. This will
not cause the selected item to not be visible, as the selected
item will be the first shown child. So it will be visible, as long
as the list box is greater than a single row high, which it will be
in all practical scenarios.

This is done on all platforms, as it has a beneficial side-effect:
the parent library of the selection is naturally shown to the
user, so they don't need to scroll up to see what library their
current filter selection was in.
