fix: restore case-insensitive contains/not contains/not in and consolidate metadata filter pipeline (#15686)

## Summary This PR fixes case-sensitivity regressions introduced in #15656 and consolidates the metadata filtering pipeline by removing the duplicate `applySingleCondition` adapter layer. ### Bug fixes 1. **contains / not contains**: restored case-insensitive matching (was lost when `applySingleCondition` was replaced by `common.MetaFilter.matchValue` which lacked `strings.ToLower`) 2. **not in**: restored case-insensitive matching (was lost for same reason; uses `strings.EqualFold`) 3. **!= with date filter values**: non-date metadata values now correctly match the `≠` operator (a non-date value IS not equal to any date, but was returning false) ### Architecture 4. **Removed `applySingleCondition`** (65 lines) — the inline switch was a duplicate of `common.MetaFilter` logic. `ApplyMetaFilter` now converts conditions and delegates to `common.MetaFilter` once per filter set, eliminating ~25 lines of duplicate AND/OR merge logic. 5. **Added `filterSet`** — O(n+m) hash-map fast path for `in`/`not in` operators, replacing the O(n*m) linear scan in `matchValue`. 6. **Exported `NormalizeOperator`** from `common` for consistent operator alias handling. ### Cleanup 7. Removed 18 lines of dead code (`matchValue`'s `in`/`not in` branches already bypassed by `filterOut` delegation) 8. Fixed orphaned godoc comment for `convertOperator` 9. Fixed incorrect `filterSet` doc comment (claimed "matching EqualFold" but used `strings.ToLower`) 10. Completed `convertToMetaCondition` operator normalization documentation ### Testing - 60 tests (24 service + 36 common), all passing - New tests: `==`, `≠`, `>`, `<`, `≥`, `≤`, `empty`, `not empty` through `ApplyMetaFilter` - New tests: `<`, `≤`, `≠` through `MetaFilter`; `not-in-empty-list` through `filterSet` - All 18 `MetaFilter` tests pass; all 10 `filterSet` unit tests pass --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
