Item2342: the search cgi script is broken in trunk, and pretty pointless in 1.0

looking at the code, there's no net benefit to the search cgi in 1.0.x - the progressive chunking of results has been disabled as it doesn't work for table formats, and it doesn't do html size header info

and in trunk it was broken months ago, by changes to the engine->param() call, and by the use of a non-topic baseWebObject - I noticed because i was looking for unit tests for that code - and they don't exist.

i think we should deprecate the search cgi by making the Foswiki::UI::Search function call view and show the appropriate WebSearch topic.

if not - someone needs to make tests for it.

additionally :/ the refactoring done to pass TOM objects has broken the non-=inline= Search::WebSearch (used by the search cgi) - again, no tests..

commited the needed fix, but i still think we should consider getting rid of it.

Fixing the switchboard test so they all use captureWithKey so save and upload pass too.

Also changed the CRLF parsing of HTTP headers. We need some small Func to do it, don't we?
