[fix] Google API changed 

It seems that Google is rolling out a modified WEB API [1][2].

In the past there was only the UI language in the `hl` argument but nowadays it
seems a combination of the UI language and the "search region" is mixed in this
argument and the `gl` argument has been removed.  I'm very surprised that google
is starting to mix the parameters of the UI with the parameters of the search
index.

This patch modifies the get_google_info(..) function.  Beside Google-WEB this
function is also used by other Google services, here are some examples to test
region & language of ..

- Google-WEB:    `!go dragon boat :en-CA`
- Google-News:   `!gon dragon boat :en-CA`
- Google-Videos: `!gov bmw :en-CA`
- Goolge-Images  `!goi bmw :en-CA`
