Markus Heiser 5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

Markus Heiser 6e5f22e558 [mod] replace engines_languages.json by engines_traits.json
Implementations of the *traits* of the engines.

Engine's traits are fetched from the origin engine and stored in a JSON file in
the *data folder*.  Most often traits are languages and region codes and their
mapping from SearXNG's representation to the representation in the origin search
engine.

To load traits from the persistence::

    searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraitsMap.from_data()

For new traits new properties can be added to the class::

    searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits

.. hint::

   Implementation is downward compatible to the deprecated *supported_languages
   method* from the vintage implementation.

   The vintage code is tagged as *deprecated* an can be removed when all engines
   has been ported to the *traits method*.

Markus Heiser de819bb1f5 [docs] move searxng_extra/ stuff to the developer section.
Stuff in folder searxng_extra/ is not suitable for normal users and should only
be used by developers.

The script searxng_extra/standalone_searx.py must not give the impression that
it improves privacy. [1]
