Search mode default and doc updates #887

Per discussion in #823, updating the README and updating the default mode to be bfs-cheap.

Originally, the reasoning behind the default value of bfs-fast was that it provides different coverage from fuzz-lean (which is similar to bfs-cheap in that it does not exercise all of the renderings). However, many users only want to run one fuzzing mode (e.g. for evaluation purposes, having just one job in CI/CD), and that is typically the fuzz mode (since we document it to provide the best coverage).

Updating the documentation to reflect this.
