Created by: stefanhengl

Relates to #12232

This PR adds support for negating the content field

foo and -content:bar

limitations:

indexed searches only
implemented as part of the new parser: "search.migrateParser": true
syntax highlighting in search-field marks -content as not supported. This will be handled in a separate PR.
suggestions ignore negations (see PR comments below).
