Core Rule Set: the package registries' searches of gitea and Forgejo pass (closes #354)

Recorded from gitea 1.27.3 and Forgejo 17.0.1 with each registry's own
client, and curl for the Chef cookbook list, NuGet's Packages() and the
counts at Search()/$count and Packages()/$count, with python3,
powershell, ls -la, .htaccess, file names and plain words. q on the
Cargo, Chef, Composer and Conan searches and NuGet's search service
joins 900603. 900605 lets /bin/sh through on Composer and Conan. New:
900609 for npm's text; 900611, in phase 2, lets one q shaped as a Conan
reference with no +, */ or --, such as zlib/*, skip 942100; 900612 for
NuGet's Search(), Packages() and their counts: searchTerm, $filter, and
the names $filter, $orderby and $top for 942290.
