Remove search_again_label functionality

With SSCS (Split Screen Case Search) now the default behavior, the
search_again_label is no longer needed. This removes all references to
search_again_label and CaseSearchAgainLabel throughout the codebase.

Changes:
- Remove CaseSearchAgainLabel class and search_again_label/again_label
  properties from CaseSearch model
- Remove search_again_label from views (GET/POST endpoints, media handling)
- Remove search_again_label locale string generation
- Remove search_again_label from media collection and renaming
- Remove search_again_label from translation upload/download modules
- Remove search_again_label from JavaScript (case_claim.js)
- Update test fixtures and assertions to no longer expect search_again
  functionality
- Clean up test data (plant_care_app.json)

The search_again_label was previously used to provide a "Search Again"
button on search results, but with SSCS this is no longer generated.
