Overhaul search with dedicated NIP-50 relays and hybrid results

Text search now queries relay.nostr.band and search.nos.today via a
persistent NDK instance, while also running hashtag lookups on user
relays. Results are merged and deduplicated. Hashtag searches now show
all three tabs (notes, articles, people) instead of notes-only. Added
loading spinner and clear-on-search for better UX.
