search: productionize hybrid zoekt+searcher prototype

Created by: keegancsmith

https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/33656 is shipped and running in production. Lets get this over the finish line and have it useable for the next release via a feature flag.

Tasks:

  • heuristics for falling back to normal searcher
    • test on old commits to determine thresholds
    • see if we need better caching behaviour by doing repeated searches on somewhat old commits
  • A dashboard showing performance and health of this feature
  • Observability to follow-up on how this is working in production
  • A way to disable once we default to on
  • stream from zoekt

Next branch cut is likely this week so unsure we will have enough data by then. So aiming to make this easy to opt into for admins.
