refactor: extract helper functions from SearchIssues (#36158)

## Summary

This PR refactors the `SearchIssues` function in
`routers/api/v1/repo/issue.go` by extracting common logic into reusable
helper functions:

- `parseIssueIsClosed()`: Parses the "state" query parameter and returns
the corresponding `isClosed` option
- `parseIssueIsPull()`: Parses the "type" query parameter and returns
the corresponding `isPull` option
- `buildSearchIssuesRepoIDs()`: Builds the list of repository IDs for
issue search based on query parameters

### Benefits:
- Improved code readability
- Smaller, more focused functions
- Easier to test individual components
- Potential for reuse in other handlers

### Changes:
- Extracted 3 helper functions from the ~292 line `SearchIssues`
function
- No functional changes - behavior remains the same
- Proper error handling preserved

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify existing API tests pass
- [ ] Manual testing of `/repos/issues/search` endpoint

Ref: #35015
