Performs a search for users. The homeserver may determine which
subset of users are searched. However, the homeserver MUST at a
minimum consider users who are visible to the requester based
on their membership in rooms known to the homeserver. This means:
- users that share a room with the requesting user
- users who are joined to rooms known to the homeserver that have a
`public` [join rule](#mroomjoin_rules)
- users who are joined to rooms known to the homeserver that have a
`world_readable` [history visibility](#room-history-visibility)
The search MUST consider local users to the homeserver, and SHOULD
query remote users as part of the search.
