Description

Make use of the REST API Item prefix search use cases for wbsearchentities.

Current differences:

no distinction between search and result language in REST use case
type parameter in Action API will serve as an indicator which use case to delegate to (Item or Property)
strictlanguage parameter allows to disable language fallback
props parameter allows to show the URL of search results
profile parameter allows switching to 'language' search profile
response format
error messages
maybe create an ADR with conclusions how to refactor legacy code according to ADR 25 (Wikibase modularization)

A/C:

output format and error messages do not change
