Bug 2008989 - Remove searchfox -q from CLAUDE.md. r=ai4dev-reviewers,suhaib
asuth prefers that it isn't used because it puts too much pressure on
the searchfox backend as things stand. Doing it prints a scary message,
but I see invoked too often, so let's remove it.

- Use the `searchfox-cli` tool except if you suspect that you need to find information about something that has changed locally, in which case use `rg` or the usual tools, since `searchfox.org` only indexes public (merged) code
