update search method to use external search provider (aka lighthouse) #2118

the blockchain.claimtrie.search method in the wallet is pretty basic. there are many robust search solutions such as Elasticsearch that are way better. the wallet server should offload search functionality to these solutions when possible.

document an api between wallet server and search provider
pass search requests along to provider. pass responses back to client.
robust search is optional. if it is not available, fall back to existing search.
