Kesku 230fea1ca6 feat(web-search): switch Perplexity to native Search API (#33822)
* feat: Add Perplexity Search API as web_search provider

* docs fixes

* domain_filter validation

* address comments

* provider-specific options in cache key

* add validation for unsupported date filters

* legacy fields

* unsupported_language guard

* cache key matches the request's precedence order

* conflicting_time_filters guard

* unsupported_country guard

* invalid_date_range guard

* pplx validate for ISO 639-1 format

* docs: add Perplexity Search API changelog entry

* unsupported_domain_filter guard
