…ge (sourcegit-scm#985) Git cannot OR --grep/--author/--committer in a single invocation, so the new `All` method (now the default) runs the field queries separately, plus an exact-SHA lookup, and merges the deduplicated results sorted by commit time. Adds an internal-only `ByCommitter` query mode to power it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR adds a "fulltext" search capability to perform a unified search across multiple commit fields at once, which was refused a year ago in #985 due to time constraints.
How & why
Git has no bult-in logical "OR"

This was done with the help of Claude, as I have not done any C# development in the last 8 years. Feel free to reject on maintainability concerns.
