Add ability to search in entry title and body

Browse source 
jrnl was missing ability to search in entry titles and message bodies.

This commit adds a '-search TEXT' option which, if specified, causes
jrnl to display only those entries which have 'TEXT' in either their
title or message body.

Specifying the '-search' option also implies that the compose mode
won't be used.

Fixes #384.

@ -98,6 +98,17 @@ the last five entries containing both ``@pineapple`` **and** ``@lubricant``. You
``jrnl @pinkie @WorldDomination`` will switch to viewing mode because although **no** command line arguments are given, all the input strings look like tags - *jrnl* will assume you want to filter by tag.
Searching
---------
To search for a string ``"excellent idea"`` in all journal entries, use the ``-search`` argument::
jrnl -search "excellent idea"
The ``-search`` argument can be combined with other filters, such as ``-from`` and ``-until``.
Note that the searching is case-insensitive and doesn't accept any wildcards or regular expression syntax.
