app: search Other tab distinguishes pending channels from none (#728)
* app: search Other tab distinguishes pending channels from none

useSearchChannels initialised channels to [] and loading to false, and
only set loading inside its mount effect, so the Other tab's first
render painted "No Channels" with a count of 0 before the search had
run.  A failed search was rendered the same way, since the hook had no
catch and the API helper returns undefined on a non-OK response.

Invariants now enforced and tested:
* null = pending, undefined = fetch failed, [] = no channels; loading
  is true from the first render because the search starts on mount.
* Changing tags resets to pending, and only the newest request may
  write state, so a slow response for previous tags is dropped.
* The tab shows a loader while pending, an error on failure, and
  "No Channels" only once the server confirmed there are none.

* app: useSearchChannels follows its caller's tags

The hook read its tag argument only as the initial state, so the
Other tab never refetched when the filter modal changed the URL's tags
while the tab stayed mounted; the list, including a stale "No
Channels", was whatever the mount fetched.

The internal tag state now follows the argument's contents, keyed on
the serialized list because the caller builds a new array every
render.  Tests change the hook argument after a loaded result and
expect a second search and a reset to pending, check that a new array
with the same tags does not refetch, and keep the slow-response drop.
