feat(search): route parse_user_query through whoosh-compat

Rewires parse_user_query() to parse via wc.parse()/tantivy_emit() against
the shared FieldRegistry instead of the string-based translate_query()
pipeline, so diagnostics map to typed SearchQueryError subclasses
(InvalidDateQuery/InvalidNumberQuery/MultipleSearchQueryErrors) and every
bad field is reported, not just the first.

Marks three pre-existing tests xfail (2 in test_query.py, 1 in
test_api_search.py) for confirmed whoosh-compat grammar gaps found while
verifying this rewrite: unquoted multi-word date keywords (e.g.
`added:previous month`) and RFC3339 T/Z datetime range bounds no longer
parse.

"""
Parse user query through the complete preprocessing pipeline.
Parse user query through whoosh-compat, then blend in fuzzy/CJK clauses.
Transforms the raw user query through multiple stages:
1. Date keyword rewriting (today → ISO 8601 ranges)
2. Query normalization (comma expansion, whitespace cleanup)
3. Tantivy parsing with field boosts
4. Optional fuzzy query blending (if ADVANCED_FUZZY_SEARCH_THRESHOLD set)
Args:
index: Tantivy index with registered tokenizers
raw_query: Original user query string
tz: Timezone for date boundary calculations
Returns:
Parsed Tantivy query ready for execution
Note:
When ADVANCED_FUZZY_SEARCH_THRESHOLD is configured, adds a low-priority
fuzzy query as a Should clause (0.1 boost) to catch approximate matches
while keeping exact matches ranked higher. The threshold value is applied
as a post-search score filter, not during query construction.
1. wc.parse() against the shared FieldRegistry (whoosh grammar -> AST).
2. Any diagnostics (bad dates/numbers) map to SearchQueryError subclasses
and raise — the view returns HTTP 400 with every offending field
listed, not just the first.
3. emit() turns the AST into a tantivy.Query directly (no string
round-trip). UnsupportedQueryError (a construct that parses but can't
execute against tantivy, e.g. a text-field range) also maps to a 400.
4. Optional fuzzy blend (ADVANCED_FUZZY_SEARCH_THRESHOLD) re-parses
raw_query directly via index.parse_query — there's no clean AST-level
fuzzy equivalent, and fuzzy matching was always an approximate,
secondary clause.
5. Optional CJK bigram clause — unchanged from before this migration,
never went through the old translate_query() either.
