Allow `gh search repos --archived` to take `true` or `false` value

[knutwannheden]

Currently the gh search repos --archived is documented as "Filter based on archive state". It does indeed allow to filter on archived repos, but I think it would be really nice if it could also be used to exclude any archived repos, by using it as --archived false, similar to how it is described in the linked documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-for-repositories#search-based-on-whether-a-repository-is-archived

@knutwannheden Thanks for writing in, and sorry for the difficulty you are having. This feature is actually already supported, unfortunately the syntax is a bit wonky due to the implementation.

You can use gh search repos --archived=false and gh search repos --archived=true to achieve what you are trying to do.

I think we can improve the documentation here and indicate that the = sign is necessary and that invocations such as gh search repos --archived false will not work. Perhaps an example using the --archived flag.

Can we have the same for gh search code to skip (or not) archived repos?

While "archived:true" works in the UI search, in the CLI this is not working: gh search code "something archived:true" :-(
