Wyatt FryandEthan Dickson a005e5cd22 feat: add username and email user search filters (#27922)
## Summary

User search can now resolve exact `email:` and `username:` terms through
`GET /api/v2/users` instead of only supporting fuzzy free-text matches.
The database query already had exact email and username filters; this
wires the public search parser and API handler to those filters so
clients can ask for a single user by email without fetching every user
or depending on substring matching.

This is the API half of coder/terraform-provider-coderd#403: that
provider PR adds `data.coderd_user.email`, and this PR gives it an
efficient exact lookup path.

## Testing

- `go test ./coderd/searchquery -run '^TestSearchUsers$' -count=1`
- `go test ./coderd -run '^TestGetUsersFilter$' -count=1`
- Live API test:
  - Built local enterprise Coder from this branch.
- Started Coder on `http://127.0.0.1:39991` against a clean Postgres
database.
  - Created `lookup-target@example.com`.
- Verified `GET /api/v2/users?q=email:LOOKUP-TARGET@EXAMPLE.COM&limit=2`
returned exactly one user:

```json
{
  "count": 1,
  "users": [
    {
      "id": "efc6f909-ce0a-4731-bd2f-6e4df417aaa7",
      "username": "lookup-target",
      "email": "lookup-target@example.com"
    }
  ]
}
```
