.Net: feat: Modernize BingTextSearch connector with ITextSearch<TRecord> interface (microsoft#10456)

Modernize BingTextSearch connector with ITextSearch interface

Problem Statement

The BingTextSearch connector currently only implements the legacy ITextSearch interface, forcing users to use clause-based TextSearchFilter instead of modern type-safe LINQ expressions. This creates runtime errors from property name typos and lacks compile-time validation.

Technical Approach

This PR modernizes the BingTextSearch connector to implement the generic ITextSearch interface alongside the existing legacy interface. The implementation provides recursive expression tree processing to convert LINQ patterns into Bing Web Search API advanced operators.

Implementation Details

Core Changes

• Implement ITextSearch interface with full generic method support
• Add recursive LINQ expression tree processor with operator-specific handlers
• Map supported LINQ operators to Bing API advanced search syntax
• Maintain all existing functionality while adding modern type-safe alternatives

Expression Tree Processing

• Equality (==) → language:en syntax
• Inequality (!=) → -language:en negation syntax
• Contains() → intitle:, inbody:, url: operators
• Logical AND (&&) → Sequential filter application

Code Examples

Before (Legacy Interface)

var options = new TextSearchOptions
{
    Filter = new TextSearchFilter().Equality("site", "microsoft.com")
};
var results = await textSearch.SearchAsync("Semantic Kernel", options);

After (Generic Interface)

// Simple filtering
var options = new TextSearchOptions<BingWebPage>
{
    Filter = page => page.Language == "en"
};

// Complex filtering
var complexOptions = new TextSearchOptions<BingWebPage>
{
    Filter = page => page.Language == "en" &&
                     page.Name.Contains("Microsoft") &&
                     page.IsFamilyFriendly != false &&
                     page.Url.Contains("docs")
};

var results = await textSearch.SearchAsync("AI", options);

Implementation Benefits

Type Safety & Developer Experience

• Compile-time validation of BingWebPage property access
• IntelliSense support for all BingWebPage properties
• Eliminates runtime errors from property name typos in filters

Enhanced Filtering Capabilities

• Equality filtering: page => page.Language == "en"
• Exclusion filtering: page => page.Language != "fr"
• Substring matching: page => page.Name.Contains("AI")
• Complex queries with multiple conditions combined

Multi-PR Context

This is PR 3 of 6 in the structured implementation approach for Issue #10456. This PR extends LINQ filtering support to the BingTextSearch connector while maintaining independence from other connector modernization efforts.

[westey-m]

We should add some unit tests for the new methods.
Should be similar to the ones already in BingTextSearchTests.
Looks good otherwise.
