feat0002 - add searchable cue words #2

Create a set of cue words used in the crossword clues that can be searched for in the clues column of the crossword_solutions tables. This should display a list of matching solutions with the clues and hint.

Implementing a search page with an autocomplete box for a cue word such as 'principally', 'initially' or 'oddly' could be done with a one-column lookup table of cue words that are submitted as a search over the clues. Or the autocomplete could trigger a search of the crossword_solutions table directly with a list of matching clues to select from. This approach is likely to result in a long return list to select from making it hard to get a variety of possible clues. We'll develop against the lookup table of cue words, with the autocomplete allowing for multiple words with an implicit OR search.
