Support regex search queries

Difference:
Upstream allows "or"-ing search terms with |. But scoop-search doesn't.

this is extremely handy while migrating from manual installs to scoop installs.
as i can paste same expression in "bulk crap uninstaller" and in "scoop-search" to compare the offerings

It seems like this is due to scoop search actually accepting regexes, not raw strings. I will rename this issue to reflect full regex support. It is unclear whether I will get to it though, seems like there is no good Regex support in zig, I would have to link against some external libraries.

There's a workaround for this, by altering the hook to
function scoop { if ($args[0] -eq "search" -and -not $($($args -join '') -match '[^\-_.0-9a-zA-Z]')) { scoop-search.exe @($args | Select-Object -Skip 1) } else { scoop.ps1 @args } }
to fallback to use the original scoop search, then though it will be slower than scoop-search, at least the regex functionality is not lost.
