Add the `blob:` search filter to search by Git object-id

What does this MR do?

This MR adds the blob: filter in Code and Wiki searches.

This new filter is useful for debugging purposes, whenever we want to search for a specific document, content-wise.

To generate a Git object id for a file, simply use the git hash-object <file> utility, or git ls-tree HEAD.
