Administration: Remove redundant type casting in `WP_List_Table::sear…

…ch_box()`.

Scalar values passed to `esc_attr()` are already converted internally to a string via both `wp_check_invalid_utf8()` and `_wp_specialchars()`.

Includes adding `@covers` tags for unit tests.

Follow-up to [58379].

See #58379.
