Enhancement: infer SEARCH_LANGUAGE from OCR_LANGUAGE; validate if explicit

- SEARCH_LANGUAGE is now str | None (None = no stemming, not "")
- When PAPERLESS_SEARCH_LANGUAGE is set, validate it against
  SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES via get_choice_from_env (startup error on bad value)
- When not set, infer from OCR_LANGUAGE's primary Tesseract code
  (eng→en, deu→de, fra→fr, etc.) covering all 18 Tantivy-supported languages
- _schema.py sentinel normalises None → "" for on-disk comparison
- _tokenizer.py type annotations updated to str | None
- docs: recommend ISO 639-1 two-letter codes; note that capitalized
  Tantivy enum names are not valid; link to Tantivy Language enum

#### [`PAPERLESS_SEARCH_LANGUAGE=<language>`](#PAPERLESS_SEARCH_LANGUAGE) {#PAPERLESS_SEARCH_LANGUAGE}
: Sets the stemmer language for the full-text search index (e.g. `en`, `de`, `fr`).
: Sets the stemmer language for the full-text search index.
Stemming improves recall by matching word variants (e.g. "running" matches "run").
Changing this setting causes the index to be rebuilt automatically on next startup.
Supported values are the language names accepted by Tantivy's built-in stemmer.
An invalid value raises an error at startup.
Defaults to `""` (no stemming).
: Use the ISO 639-1 two-letter code (e.g. `en`, `de`, `fr`). Lowercase full names
(e.g. `english`, `german`, `french`) are also accepted. The capitalized names shown
in the [Tantivy Language enum](https://docs.rs/tantivy/latest/tantivy/tokenizer/enum.Language.html)
documentation are **not** valid — use the lowercase equivalent.
: If not set, paperless infers the language from
[`PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE`](#PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE). If the OCR language has no
Tantivy stemmer equivalent, stemming is disabled.
Defaults to unset (inferred from `PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE`).
