David 1c7a8305b5 feat(libSceContentSearch): implement the search calls over an empty library
Cult of the Lamb (PPSA06465) imports libSceContentSearch, including
sceContentSearchGetContentLastUpdateId, OpenMetadataByContentId,
GetTotalContentSize and GetNumOfContent (import audit in #2686), which
were declared without parameters and threw.

Give the nine pending calls the signatures of AlexAltea/orbital
db_types.json (cc408367, lines 555-569) and SharpProspero
Interop/Content/ContentSearch.cs (5dfdb4b0), and implement the content
library the host has, which is empty:

- GetNumOfContent, GetTotalContentSize and SearchContent report 0 rows
  and 0 bytes, GetContentLastUpdateId and the search calls report update
  id 0. A search limit above 92 returns 0x809D100A and every call before
  Init returns 0x809D1001, both from SharpProspero.
- Filters and sort conditions use SharpProspero's layouts (added to
  SceTypes.hpp with size checks) and are checked against its enums;
  unknown values, null outputs and null arrays with a length throw.
- OpenMetadata and OpenMetadataByContentId throw, as no source gives the
  error for content that is not in the library, so no metadata id is
  handed out and CloseMetadata, GetMetadataFieldInfo and
  GetMetadataValue throw too.

The update id value, the argument errors and the check order are
recorded in TechnicalDebt. The four ContentSearch calls leave the
unimplemented-imports test, and guest_content_search covers the library.

Functional

  • libSceContentSearch searches a content library that is empty on the host, as nothing is exported to it. The signatures follow AlexAltea/orbital and SharpProspero, which agree; the filter and sort layouts and enums, the limit of 92 rows, 0x809D100A for a larger limit and 0x809D1001 before sceContentSearchInit are SharpProspero's. sceContentSearchGetNumOfContent, sceContentSearchGetTotalContentSize and sceContentSearchSearchContent report 0 rows and 0 bytes without writing a content row, and the update id they and sceContentSearchGetContentLastUpdateId report is always 0; no reference gives the console's update id for a library that never changed. Filters and sort conditions are only checked against SharpProspero's enums, and a null output, a null array with a non-zero length, an empty column set, a null filter value or an unknown enum value throws, as the console's errors for them are unknown; a null column set with length 0 is taken as no filter. sceContentSearchOpenMetadata and sceContentSearchOpenMetadataByContentId throw, as no reference gives the error for a path or content id that is not in the library, so no metadata id is ever handed out and sceContentSearchCloseMetadata, sceContentSearchGetMetadataFieldInfo and sceContentSearchGetMetadataValue throw. Every title is taken to hold the content-search permission (SharpProspero's 0x809D1013 is never returned). The order of the initialization, argument and limit checks is unverified
