Cache search results in shared links — no re-searching on open

When sharing a search, the actual results are now saved alongside
the search config. Opening a shared link shows the cached results
instantly instead of re-running the search against all stores.

- Add results_json column to shared_searches (migration 006)
- Frontend sends current results array when creating a share
- Share page loads cached results directly, shows date saved
- "Search Live Prices" button available to re-run with fresh data
- Falls back to live search if no cached results exist
