Add a simple way to open Cards by number

[janrenz]

Following up on the discussion in #2190 i added a possibility to easy open a ticket by entering the number.

Summary

• Extend the global search behavior so that numeric queries (e.g. #123) are interpreted as card numbers.
• Reuse the existing redirect behavior used for card.id lookups so that searching by ticket number jumps straight to the card page.
• Add controller tests to cover searching by card id, card number, and card number with a # prefix.

Details

The SearchesController previously only tried to treat the query (q) as a card.id via:

• Current.user.accessible_cards.find_by_id(@query)

This meant that users could not quickly jump to a card by the visible ticket number they see in the UI.

This change introduces a small find_card helper in SearchesController:

• If q matches \A#?\d+\z, we treat it as a card number (with an optional # prefix) and look it up via Current.user.accessible_cards.find_by(number: number).
• Otherwise, we fall back to the existing behavior of looking up by id.

If a card is found, the search page behaves as before and auto-submits a form that redirects to the card show page.

Testing

• mise exec -- bin/rails test test/controllers/searches_controller_test.rb

The controller test now verifies:

• Searching by card id still redirects correctly.
• Searching by q: "#{@card.number}" redirects to the card.
• Nonexistent ids still show the “No matches” blank slate.
