fix(search): move pagination clamp to controller (fixes cleanup regression)

Phase 5 re-validation caught a functional regression: the V-10 clamp in
SearchService.SearchAsync also capped CleanupService's internal target resolution
(pageSize 10000 -> 200), silently limiting bulk cleanup-by-query to 200 emails.

The clamp belongs at the user-facing trust boundary, not the shared service: move
MaxPageSize (200) enforcement into SearchController (both the POST body and GET query
paths). Internal callers of ISearchService now request large pages unhindered, while
user requests are still bounded. Adds a regression test proving SearchService returns
a 250-row page uncapped. No security regressions per Phase 5. All 39 tests green.
