Summary
Fixes sourcebot-dev/sourcebot#575
This PR adds support for indexing binary files (files containing null bytes), which are currently skipped by default.
Problem
Currently, IndexBuilder detects files with null bytes (0x00) and marks them as "binary", verifying them with DocChecker. This prevents users from indexing and searching content within binary-like formats (e.g., PDFs, binary-encoded text) if they choose to do so.
Solution
AllowBinaryfield to IndexBuilder andbuild.Options.DocChecker.Checkto accept anallowBinaryboolean.IndexBuilder.Addto bypass the null-byte check whenAllowBinaryis true.Verification
