Make repohasfile filter work for repo results

Administrator requested to merge fa/repohasfile-repo-results into master

Created by: attfarhan

Fixes https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/4584. Partially addresses https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/4608.

This makes the repohasfile filter work for repo results. The work done previously only allowed it to work on text and file path matches.

This means that queries like

  • repohasfile:Dockerfile
  • type:repo repohasfile:Dockerfile, and will return a list of relevant repositories.

This PR also removes the special errors that we returned when users executed these queries.

It also removes the special error returned for queries like repohasfile:foo type:path. I realized type:path itself needs another search term. Therefore, before actually supporting the query repohasfile:foo type:path, we'd need to support type:path as a query first. So, if users already understand this (we haven't received any complaints about this afaik), it's probably OK to just show no results. I would also rather not link to an issue, since we don't actually have it on the roadmap to add this functionality. (cc @slimsag this is one of the error cases we added before the release was cut)

Test plan: added unit tests
