This adds the ability to run an incremental search via the `modaledit.search` command with multiple cursors. This is particularly useful for emulating vim's `f` and `d` commands or `vim-sneak` with multiple cursors. Cursor motion to specific characters for each cursor is quite useful.

Note: a vscode extension of mine regularized some whitespace for me, I can rebase that commit out, if you'd prefer to keep the whitespace as is. |

Hi There!
First of all, thanks for the great extension! I love it, and use it daily. The clarity of your tutorial and documentation made this a joy to extend for my own purposes.
Here is a change that makes it possible to use multiple cursors with the search command. The idea is that it allows you to emulate commands like
fanddin vim for each cursor. I am making use of it in my daily work now.I also have been working on an ability to record "macros"; right now it only records normal mode keys, but seems like it should be possible to handle insert mode recording as well (though I don't know if it would be perfect). I will create a separate pull request for that once I am happy with the functionality.
