[pmwiki-users] New search function for the mailing lists

This was on my ToDo list since Gmane broke in 2016:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/search-ml.php

This is a basic and (I was pleasantly surprised*) quite fast search 
function for messages in the [pmwiki-users] and [pmwiki-devel] mailing 
lists.

Gmane was a searchable mailing list archive that we used extensively to 
find information or older discussions, and we also linked to it a lot 
both in the documentation and in our everyday messages. It disappeared 
in 2016 and was only partially restored, so most of the links to it do 
not work anymore.

If you find a dead link to the PmWiki user groups at Gmane, it is now 
possible to look for the reference, at the above URL and find your 
answers and/or update the documentation.

I still work on it but it is usable.
