Initial Umbraco Search docs

📋 Description

Docs for Umbraco Search:

• All the existing docs from the current GitHub repo, rewritten for the docs portal.
• Articles missing from the existing docs, particularly revolving around extensibility.

Once these docs become available on the docs portal, the existing docs will be replaced with a link to the docs portal.

There's a TODO in the root README file here. The idea is that it should be replaced with a cards view like the one on https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms

...however, I am not entirely sure how to add those cards 🙈
