Adding a solution for searching within a linked list for future students (#38326)

* Adding a solution for future students

* fix: added new tests and correctied existing tests

* Adding isEmpty method as well

* Update curriculum/challenges/english/08-coding-interview-prep/data-structures/search-within-a-linked-list.english.md
