 Customize: Improve the widgets and menu items search.

 - adds a "search" icon into the search fields
 - adds a hidden description for the widget search field, targeted by
 `aria-describedby`
 - adds the "clear-results" button to the widgets search
 - removes the `change` and `search` events bound on the widget search, for
 these "live searches" WordPress should standardize on `input` (+ `keyup`
 when needed)
 - adds property and function to keep track and update the number of the
 widgets search results
 - the widgets search results are now announced via `wp.a11y.speak()`
 - adds a visible and audible message when there are no widgets search
 results
 - moves some CSS to `customize-controls.css`

 Props ryankienstra, melchoyce, afercia.
 Fixes #36908.
