searchmigrate: detect sort.Search that can potentially use slices.BinarySearch

This analyzer flags all calls to sort.Search(n, func...) as candidates for migration to the slices package. No auto-fix is provided because the transformation depends on the closure body and is not always straightforward.

Example:

sort.Search(len(s), func(i int) bool { return s[i] >= target })

May be replaceable with:

slices.BinarySearch(s, target)

Available since Go 1.21.
