- New: serpbase_search_provider.py — Google search via api.serpbase.dev - Uses aiohttp (already a project dependency via Jina provider) - API key from SERPBASE_API_KEY env var; gracefully skips when unset - Supports 'google' and 'serpbase' provider names in registry - Mirrors existing provider structure: validation, domain filtering, locale mapping

Summary
Add SerpBase as a Google search provider — returns structured Google search results via REST API with zero scraping maintenance.
Background
ApeRAG currently supports DuckDuckGo, Jina, and LLM.txt search providers. Google search is a commonly requested backend for research-quality results, but scraping Google directly is brittle and requires constant maintenance. SerpBase provides a reliable, structured Google Search API that fits naturally into the existing provider architecture.
