This builds off of rBf951aa063f7, adding a weight parameter which can
be used to change the order of items when they have the same match
score. In the future, if string searching gets a C++ API, we could
use an optional parameter for the weight, since it is not used yet.
This will be used for the node link drag search menu (D8286).

- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.
- Minor improvements to doc-strings.
Ref T92709
This value is defined in the UI module, but happens to be used
in string_search.cc too. Note that these references need to be kept in
sync. Use escaped utf-8 sequence since the literal can be avoided.
Also replace BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode calls with constant assignments
as these values are known there is no need to decode a utf-8 sequence.
Remove BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode_and_size and
BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode_and_size_safe.
Use BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode_step instead since it takes
a buffer bounds argument to prevent buffer over-reading.
This adds a generic string search library in `BLI_string_search.h`.
The library has a simple to use C api that allows it's users to
filter and sort a set of possible search results based on some
query string.
