This commit makes the search mode configurable between the existing pattern search mode and a new regex based search mode. The regex search mode can be enabled by setting the `MCFLY_SEARCH_MODE` environment variable to `regex` or by using the `F4` key in the UI. The regex syntax follows [crate regex](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/#syntax). Invalid regex patterns will simply return no results. Fuzzy search is not supported in regex mode.

Is there any way this can be done natively in sqlite? Using a function call is likely why it's slow.

I did not find a way to do so while I was doing my reasearch on this.
But I am not very experienced with sqlite. Glad when I'm taught better.
