Theme: fix autocompletion with the POST method

Browse source 
With the POST method, autocomplete.js does not URL encode the values.
For example "1+1" is sent as "1+1" which is read as "1 1" since space are URL encoded with a plus.

There is no clean way to fix the bug since autocomplete.js seems abandoned.

The commit monkey patches the ajax function of autocomplete.js

Monkey patch autocomplete.js to fix a bug
With the POST method, the values are not URL encoded: query like "1 + 1" are sent as "1 1" since space are URL encoded as plus.
See HTML specifications:
* HTML5: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-urlencoded-serializer
* HTML4: https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1
autocomplete.js does not URL encode the name and values:
https://github.com/autocompletejs/autocomplete.js/blob/87069524f3b95e68f1b54d8976868e0eac1b2c83/src/autocomplete.ts#L665
The monkey patch overrides the compiled version of the ajax function.
See https://github.com/autocompletejs/autocomplete.js/blob/87069524f3b95e68f1b54d8976868e0eac1b2c83/dist/autocomplete.js#L143-L158
The patch changes only the line 156 from
params.Request.send(params._QueryArg() + "=" + params._Pre());
to
params.Request.send(encodeURIComponent(params._QueryArg()) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(params._Pre()));
