96fe8c0b83 Implement basic ngram search for Owners Package names
Summary:
Ref T9979. This uses ngrams (specifically, trigrams) to build a reasonably efficient index for substring matching. Specifically, for a package like "Example", with ID 123, we store rows like this:

```
< ex, 123>
<exa, 123>
<xam, 123>
<amp, 123>
<mpl, 123>
<ple, 123>
<le , 123>
```

When the user searches for `exam`, we join this table for packages with tokens `exa` and `xam`. MySQL can do this a lot more efficiently than it can process a `LIKE "%exam%"` query against a huge table.

When the user searches for a one-letter or two-letter string, we only search the beginnings of words. This is probably what they want, the only thing we can do quickly, and a reasonable/expected behavior for typeaheads.

Test Plan:
  - Ran storage upgrades and search indexer.
  - Searched for stuff with "name contains".
  - Used typehaead and got sensible results.
  - Searched for `aabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz` and saw only 16 joins.
