[search] Don't build intermediate lists in search.
This patch converts the `search_*` functions to use an iter-style API. Consequently, the Search Vernac will produce a message for each search result, greatly improving roundtrip time as IDEs can effectively display the results in a streaming way. It also allows different printers to be used. I didn't observe a performance difference (as things seem to be dominated by printing and `Declaremods`). As a minor tweak, we make search with "Output Name Only" more efficient. Motivation: ----------- Currently, the main search API `Search.generic_search` is an effectful, iteration-based function: ```ocaml val generic_search : int option -> display_function -> unit ``` This type is imposed by `Declaremods`, which exposes an effectful, iteration-based API to traverse Coq library objects. The `Search.search_*` functions try to offer a more functional API by returning a list of pretty printing commands. They need to build an internal intermediate list for that purpose. However, this is a waste of time, as the destination of these lists is to be flushed out by the printer right away.
