Merge #4535
4535: Support Negative Keywords r=ManyTheFish a=Kerollmops

This PR fixes #4422 by supporting `-` before any word in the query.

The minus symbol `-`, from the ASCII table, is not the only character that can be considered the negative operator. You can see the two other matching characters under the `Based on "-" (U+002D)` section on [this unicode reference website](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+002D).

It's important to notice the strange behavior when a query includes and excludes the same word; only the derivative ( synonyms and split) will be kept:
 - If you input `progamer -progamer`, the engine will still search for `pro gamer`.
 - If you have the synonym `like = love` and you input `like -like`, it will still search for `love`.

## TODO
 - [x] Add analytics
 - [x] Add support to the `-` operator
 - [x] Make sure to support spaces around `-` well
 - [x] Support phrase negation
 - [x] Add tests
