add file:contains.content() predicate

Warren Gifford requested to merge cc/file-contains into main

Created by: camdencheek

This adds a file predicate to filter to only files that contain content matching the given pattern.

In textsearch cases, it's usually simpler to just use an "and" operator. For example, file:contains.content(q1) q2 is equivalent to q1 and q1.

However, for non-file results, that's not possible. Consider "find diffs that modify files that contain q1". With this change, that query can be written as type:diff file:contains.content(q1) whereas that would previously be unrepresentible in our query language.
