Exclude archived projects in search results by default

What does this MR do and why?

Users have been requesting to exclude archived projects from the search results for the project scope.

How

  • Add a filter include_archived - added to CE since both basic and advanced search will use it
  • Exclude archived projects if the filter is not added as a parameter
  • Include archived projects if the filter is added as a parameter
  • Basic search uses the archived field on projects
  • Advanced search searches use the archived field already present in Elasticsearch
