Item8987: TOPICLIST does not work on webs with NOSEARCHALL set

%TOPICLIST{"..." web="XXX"}% does nothing on webs where NOSEARCHALL is set

This is not the correct behavior, as this is not a search-in-all-webs operation, but one targetting a single web. This bug was already there in TWiki 4.0.

The fix is quite simple, suppressing the 3 lines at lib/Foswiki.pm in function TOPICLIST (line 3930)

    return ''
      if $web ne $this->{webName}
          && $this->{prefs}->getWebPreferencesValue( 'NOSEARCHALL', $web );

I will commit the fix if no objection is raised

That would be too sweeping a change; there may be apps depending on this legacy behaviour. So instead, if a web is explicitly named, don't check NOSEARCHALL.
