Find customers by an exact identifier, or by free text.

Prefer `phone` or `email`: those are exact, index-backed matches and the natural
way to answer "do I already have this company?" before creating a duplicate.
`q` falls back to the same substring search the list endpoint uses.

At least one of the three is required.
