Stabilize FileSearchProvider API

[gjsjohnmurray]

@roblourens I created this issue in the hope FileSearchProvider is going to get finalized at some point. If yes, maybe add the api-finalization label here.

If I'm out of order creating this, or if I've overlooked another issue dealing with its finalization, please close.

Yeah, it's about time...

@jrieken @roblourens Can we revisit this -- so we can move forward with some kind of search provider functionality. I've been dying for this for a LONG time now and its blocking really cool use-cases in both GitLens and RemoteHub.

And the TextSearchProvider API too please (#59921) 🙏

Please can this get onto the April 2020 milestone? 🙏 📿

This is not my decision, search is owned by @roblourens, I own the API-process which ensures all API look and feels alike
