Hacky Prototype search UI using Instantsearch + Meilisearch [FC-0040]

[bradenmacdonald]

(not meant to be merged)

This is the frontend UI for openedx/edx-platform#34310 ("Proof of Concept: index Studio content using Meilisearch")

It demonstrates a search modal that can be used to search courseware (all courses + all v2 libraries).

It looks like garbage since I'm just using the Instantsearch UI, unmodified. I just want to show the data and results :)

It integrates with tagging, so you can do hierarchical filtering of the content based on tags.

How to use

Follow the instructions on the other PR.

1. Check out this branch of course-authoring, in development mode (where hot reloading is active).
2. Open the course authoring MFE, e.g. at http://apps.local.overhang.io:2001/course-authoring/home/
3. Press the / (forward slash) button on your keyboard. (It turns out there's no way for our Course Authoring MFE to inject a new Button into the Studio header, nor even a new menu item with an onClick handler. So that's what you get for now.)
4. Search and refine.

Only works in development mode (hot reloading)

I was playing with using TypeScript in MFEs, so the code won't actually build for production. It runs fine in development mode however.
