search: stream diff/commits and symbol in PoC

Administrator requested to merge k/commit-generic into main

Created by: keegancsmith

We stream the same interface used by our web client for commits. This is just the generic search result interface. This change originally started off trying to use a better API, but ran into two problems:

  1. There is a lot of potential metadata used to create a commit result. Commit author name/time, message, etc.
  2. The results we return are markdown files with highlights. Translating this from something more abstract (eg just offsetAndRange) would of been very complicated.

After this work, I realised we probably want to keep a generic interface for better extensibility in the future. So commits will keep using our generic interface for now.
