feat(spp_registry_search): optimize search with split queries and config

Replace single OR domain (which forces full table scans ignoring all
indexes) with separate per-field queries that each use indexes efficiently.
Benchmarked: 225ms → ~17ms on 100K records (13x improvement).

Add configurable search settings (Settings > Registry Search):
- Search mode: unified (all fields) or targeted (pick a field)
- Default search field for targeted mode
- Maximum result limit (10-200)
- Minimum search characters (1-10)

Also: parallelize all RPC calls on page load, fix _cleanup_old_records
to use offset instead of loading all records.
