* feat: Add search_aliases field to node schema
Adds `search_aliases` field to improve node discoverability. Users can define alternative search terms for nodes (e.g., "text concat" → StringConcatenate).
Changes:
- Add `search_aliases: list[str]` to V3 Schema
- Add `SEARCH_ALIASES` support for V1 nodes
- Include field in `/object_info` response
- Add aliases to high-priority core nodes
V1 usage:
```python
class MyNode:
SEARCH_ALIASES = ["alt name", "synonym"]
```
V3 usage:
```python
io.Schema(
node_id="MyNode",
search_aliases=["alt name", "synonym"],
...
)
```
