Query URI components often called 'search'

[wouterbeek]

Why is 'search' used to denote the query component of a URI? The URI RFC does not define the word 'search'. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986. Can all occurrences of 'search' be replaced by 'query'?

[wouterbeek]

search should be changed to query, however, legacy code may be using this. Packages http and pengines, ClipPatria and pl-www must be updated in sync to fix this (or a compatibility wrapper must be written).

It was probably a usual term somewhere when I wrote the first version. Just changing is not an option. It will just break too much code that is hard to debug. We can add duplicate clauses
for uri_data/3,4 and change the documentation and the usage in the packages.

Update to ClioPatria should work with old version. Either delay or use :- if(.
