ILocatorFilter: Replace refresh() with refreshRecipe()

Most of refresh overrides were running synchronous method in main
thread, however, it was really convoluted: we were starting
asynchronous call and from inside the method running in separate
thread we were scheduling the call back to main thread.
Use Tasking::Sync for these cases instead.

The only subclass that is doing the real asynchronous refresh
is DirectoryFilter. Simplify the async call internals and
pass data to the async call explicitly. Move the refresh method
outside of DirectoryFilter class (to make it clear we shouldn't
touch private members).
