Maurice a9907e2f10 feat(plugins): let a plugin answer place searches from its own index
TREK searches its own place index and OpenStreetMap. Neither carries a rating,
so "the best rated hotel around here" has never been answerable, and an operator
with a better index for their region had no way to reach the search box at all.
The searchProvider hook is that way in: a plugin is handed the query, a limit,
the language and the coordinate the search is biased toward, and answers with
places in the same shape the core search returns, plus a rating.

It sits beside the core search rather than inside it. The plugin runtime already
imports PlacesModule, which imports MapsModule, so asking the providers from the
maps service would close a module cycle — the same reason the other fourteen
contribution controllers stand next to what they contribute to. The client asks
both at once and merges, at the single point every caller already goes through,
so all nine search surfaces get plugin hits without knowing the hook exists.

A plugin index may never hold up the list: the client stops waiting at two and a
half seconds and the host gives a provider two, which is also why the budget is
the shortest of any hook here. With no such plugin installed the route answers
without reaching the runtime at all.

Every hit is normalized host-side and shared by the REST route and the MCP tool,
so a cap that holds for the browser holds for the assistant: coordinates are
range-checked, strings capped, the rating clamped to 0..5, a website must be
http or https, and ids are namespaced so they can never collide with an OSM one.

search_places_via_plugins is the MCP half, because what the user can see the
assistant has to be able to see; search_place now points at it.
