Implement `async fn search(query: &str) -> Result<SearchResponse, AppError>` using reqwest.

## Todo
- [ ] Define `AppError { Network(reqwest::Error), Parse(serde_json::Error) }` with Display + From impls
- [ ] Implement `search()`: split query on whitespace for searchTerms, build full SearchRequest body
- [ ] POST to `https://howlongtobeat.com/api/search` with headers: User-Agent (Firefox), Referer, Content-Type
- [ ] Use `.json(&body)` for request and `.json::<SearchResponse>()` for response
- [ ] Wire into `main`: call search, match Ok/Err, print error to stderr and exit(1) on failure
- [ ] `cargo check` passes
