Webhook Message Search

(#1406) Feature Under consideration api search

Current problem

Right now, there is no way to search for messages from webhooks based on the display name of the webhook message. This makes webhook-heavy communities (like ones that use FishingBucket, Fluxcord, Bolt, etc) difficult to moderate and search through. Currently, the only webhook-related search settings are the fields author_type and exclude_author_type, with no way to filter by the display name that goes with the webhook messages.

Proposed change

I propose a new field for GlobalSearchMessageRequest to include the field username or display_name. This would then be used to search through messages whose author has those names, including webhook messages. If the concern for reindexing after a username change is great, then this field could also be a webhook-only field.
