feat: Add LINQ filtering support to BingTextSearch
- Implement equality (==), inequality (!=), Contains(), and AND (&&) operators - Map LINQ expressions to Bing Web Search API advanced operators - Support negation syntax for inequality (-operator:value) - Maintain full backward compatibility Addresses microsoft#10456 Aligns with PR microsoft#10273 Tests: 38/38 pass (100%) Breaking changes: None
