Remove the init_search ECA model

Problem/Motivation

We have an ECA model called init_search which does an awkward cron-related workaround to force the index to be rebuilt (in order to account for the fact that any existing content needs to be immediately reindexed).

The only reason we need this is because we didn't have a helper module at the time we added it, and there's no config action in Search API to trigger a reindex.

Well, we have decided to add a helper module, and therefore we can create a synthetic config action to polyfill Search API. That means we can remove the ECA model, and with it a good chunk of complexity. Let's do that.
