Remove use of search API; effectively remove support to search for task by name.

The search API is flaky and slow and barely maintained. This is not an
essential Swarming feature and tags (which were developped later) are a much
faster and more powerful alternative.

The Swarming Cloud Endpoints API never supported searching by task name, as
cursor handling is problematic.

Remove use of search API; effectively remove support to search for task by name.

The search API was flaky and slow and barely maintained. This is not an
essential feature and tags are a much better alternative. The Swarming Cloud
Endpoints API never supported searching by task name, as cursor handling is
problematic. Drop the support altogether.

We should also probably wipe search index later. I think they charge per stored
GB of data.

Our prod instance cost 1.80$/mo. I'll look at fixing this eventually. :)
