Bug 13822 - Patron autocomplete search is severly limited

The script that returns data for the patron autocomplete does not use
C4::Members::Search. Instead it uses bespoke code that does not behave like the
traditional search and is very limited in how it can search.

If, for example, I search for "Kyle Hall" in the standard search, I would get
"Kyle Hall" back as a result. For the autocomplete search, I will not.

This script should use C4::Members::Search to provide better searching and to
keep the code base DRY.

Test Plan:
1) Enable the system preference CircAutocompl
2) Create a user with the first name "Test" and the surname "User"
3) Perform a checkout autocomplete search for "Test User"
4) Note you do not get the user as a result
5) Apply this patch
6) Try different combinations of "Test" and "User" such as
   Test User
   User Test
   U Test
   Test U
   etc.
7) Note these searches now work

Works as expected.
