search: Add ExpandRepo

Administrator requested to merge expand-repo into master

Created by: keegancsmith

Our indexed search backend uses RepoSets (an exact set of repositories) to do searching. ExpandRepo allows us to take our Repo queries and turn them into sets for the backend. This also ensures that we only return results for repositories that Repos.List returns, which in turn ensures we respect ACLs.

In the future we will ensure the Repo token on the indexed search backend uses the same logic as our Repo token. Then we can remove this function and instead send the query (and RepoSetFromReposDotList q).
