emacs: Use streaming S-expr parser for search

In addition to being the Right Thing to do, this noticeably improves
the time taken to display the first page of search results, since it's
roughly an order of magnitude faster than the JSON parser.
Interestingly, it does *not* significantly improve the time to
completely fill a large search buffer because for large search
buffers, the cost of creating author invisibility overlays and
inserting text (which slows down with more overlays) dominates.
However, the time required to display the first page of results is
generally more important to the user experience.
