Limit starred files to within user's home directory

Previously starred files were limited to directories indexed by Tracker.
Since the 'Port to Tracker 3' commit this is no longer the case.
However, to avoid unbounded growth in the starred files database we
want to prevent starring of network locations and removable devices
for now as these entries might go stale and we don't have any way
to clean them up.
