Adds Windows Search index support for DLEAPP, from the SystemIndex_PropertyStore table of Windows.edb:

  • Windows Search Index: one row per indexed item, with the item path, name and URL, type, kind, size, and the gather, modified, created and accessed times the index recorded.

Windows.edb is an ESE database, and some of its string properties use ESE 7-bit compression the vendored impacket reader returned as None. scripts/vendor/impacket_ese.py now decodes that scheme; the change is additive and leaves the SRUM and WebCache artifacts unchanged. System_Size holds a placeholder on folders and other non-file items, reported blank. Windows 11 22H2 moved this index to Windows.db (SQLite), which is not read here.

Adds a windowsSearch artifact that reads the SystemIndex_PropertyStore
table of Windows.edb, one row per indexed item: item path, name and URL,
type, kind, size, and the gather, modified, created and accessed times
the index recorded.

Windows.edb is an ESE database read with the vendored impacket ESE
reader. Some of its string properties are stored with ESE 7-bit
compression, which impacket returned as None. scripts/vendor/impacket_ese.py
now decodes that scheme. The change is additive and does not alter any
value impacket already decoded, so the SRUM and WebCache artifacts read
the same output as before.
