Newly supported API Version 6 modifies `type=search` for _by_ type
`name-desc`: it now behaves the same as `name-desc` search through the
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ search page.

Search for packages containing the literal keyword `blah blah` AND `haha`:
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg="blah blah"%20haha

Search for packages containing the literal keyword `abc 123`:
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg="abc 123"

The following example searches for packages that contain `blah` AND `abc`:
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg=blah%20abc

The legacy method still searches for packages that contain `blah abc`:
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=blah%20abc
https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=blah%20abc

API Version 6 is currently only considered during a `search` of `name-desc`.

Note: This change was written as a solution to
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49133

It is now possible to search for packages that depend on a given package,
for instance:

    /rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=depends&arg=ocaml

It is similarly possible to match on "makedepends", "checkdepends" and
"optdepends".

This parameter is only supported by the search command. We do not need
to repeat ourselves.

Convert the RPC interface documentation from web/html/rpc.php to
AsciiDoc and add it to the documentation directory.
