conf.py: tweak SearchEnglish to be hyphen-friendly

This modifies the default indexer split() and js splitQuery()
methods to support searching for words with hyphens.

While this might not be an ideal, rock solid, and fully future-proof
solution, it allows at least to search for strings inlcuding hyphens,
such as 'bitbake-layers', 'send-error-report', or 'oe-core'.

Below is a bit more detailed explanation of the two modifications done:

1) The default split regex in the sphinx-doc SearchLanguage base class
   is:

   | _word_re = re.compile(r'\w+')

   which we simply extend to include hyphens '-'.

   This will result in a searchindex.js that contains words with hyphens,
   too.

2) The 'searchtool.js' code notes for its splitQuery() implementation:

   | /**
   |  * Default splitQuery function. Can be overridden in ``sphinx.search`` with a
   |  * custom function per language.
   |  *
   |  * The regular expression works by splitting the string on consecutive characters
   |  * that are not Unicode letters, numbers, underscores, or emoji characters.
   |  * This is the same as ``\W+`` in Python, preserving the surrogate pair area.
   |  */
   | if (typeof splitQuery === "undefined") {
   |   var splitQuery = (query) => query
   |       .split(/[^\p{Letter}\p{Number}_\p{Emoji_Presentation}]+/gu)
   |       .filter(term => term)  // remove remaining empty strings
   | }

   The hook for this is documented in the sphinx-docs 'SearchLanguage'
   base class.

   |    .. attribute:: js_splitter_code
   |
   |       Return splitter function of JavaScript version.  The function should be
   |       named as ``splitQuery``.  And it should take a string and return list of
   |       strings.
   |
   |       .. versionadded:: 3.0

   We use this to define a simplified splitQuery() function with a split
   argument that splits on empty spaces only.

We extend SearchEnglish (which extends SearchLanguage) here to retain
the stemmer code and stopwords for English.
