have 210 engines and not just 70. To avoid having to change the quantities
manually in the future, they are now calculated from the jinja context

All favicons implementations have been documented and moved to the Python
package:
searx.favicons
There is a configuration (based on Pydantic) for the favicons and all its
components:
searx.favicons.config
A solution for caching favicons has been implemented:
searx.favicon.cache
If the favicon is already in the cache, the returned URL is a data URL [1]
(something like `data:image/png;base64,...`). By generating a data url from
the FaviconCache, additional HTTP roundtripps via the favicon_proxy are saved:
favicons.proxy.favicon_url
The favicon proxy service now sets a HTTP header "Cache-Control: max-age=...":
favicons.proxy.favicon_proxy
The resolvers now also provide the mime type (data, mime):
searx.favicon.resolvers

The intention of this PR is to modernize the settings_loader implementations.
The concept is old (remember, this is partly from 2014), back then we only had
one config file, meanwhile we have had a folder with config files for a very
long time. Callers can now load a YAML configuration from this folder as
follows ::
settings_loader.get_yaml_cfg('my-config.yml')
- BTW this is a fix of #3557.
- Further the `existing_filename_or_none` construct dates back to times when
there was not yet a `pathlib.Path` in all Python versions we supported in the
past.
- Typehints have been added wherever appropriate
At the same time, this patch should also be downward compatible and not
introduce a new environment variable. The localization of the folder with the
configurations is further based on:
SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH (wich defaults to /etc/searxng/settings.yml)
Which means, the default config folder is `/etc/searxng/`.
ATTENTION: intended functional changes!
If SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH was set and pointed to a not existing file, the
previous implementation silently loaded the default configuration. This
behavior has been changed: if the file or folder does not exist, an
EnvironmentError exception will be thrown in future.

HTTP GET vs POST
================
Already diskussed in "Method POST harms UX without providing a tangible privacy
benefit" [1]. At that time we agreed to POST. However, as we are having more
and more drawbacks with POST, I suggest that we reconsider our previous
decision. The latest cause was [2], but we also have other problems that
negatively affect the UI [1]:
* Open Link in New Tab: does not work for our search result tabs because they
aren't actual links.
* Bookmarking: a search becomes more difficult with POST. You cannot just press
a browser keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+D` ... no you have to copy the Search URL from
the sidebar. This can pose a real struggle for less technically-minded users.
* Sharing: a search with somebody else becomes more difficult with POST (for
the same reason).
Lock HTTP method in the preferences
===================================
If the user changes the HTTP method in his settings, e.g. from GET to POST, but
has not removed the SearXNG instance from the WEB browser and added it again,
the WEB browser will continue to work with the old setting (GET), while entries
in the HTML form use the newly set method (POST). Not realted to this commit,
but this complication is also known from autocomplete[3].
Only very few maintainers are aware of this fact and probably none of the users
know about it. We should provide a setup in our defaults that is manageable in
its entirety and comprehensible for the user. For this reason, the option to
select the HTTP method in the preferences is also disabled in this commit.

In the past, some files were tested with the standard profile, others with a
profile in which most of the messages were switched off ... some files were not
checked at all.
- ``PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTION`` has been abolished
- the distinction ``# lint: pylint`` is no longer necessary
- the pylint tasks have been reduced from three to two
1. ./searx/engines -> lint engines with additional builtins
2. ./searx ./searxng_extra ./tests -> lint all other python files

babel.Locale.parse loads more than 60MB in RAM. The only purpose is to get:
LOCALE_NAMES - searx.data.LOCALES["LOCALE_NAMES"]
RTL_LOCALES - searx.data.LOCALES["RTL_LOCALES"]
This commit calls babel.Locale.parse when the translations are update from
weblate and stored in::
searx/data/locales.json
This file can be build by::
./manage data.locales
By store these variables in searx.data when the translations are updated we save
round about 65MB (usually 4 worker = 260MB of RAM saved.

In Presearch there are languages for the UI and regions for narrowing down the
search. With this change the SearXNG engine supports a search by region. The
details can be found in the documentation of the source code.
To test, you can search terms like::
!presearch bmw :zh-TW
!presearch bmw :en-CA
1. You should get results corresponding to the region (Taiwan, Canada)
2. and in the language (Chinese, Englisch).
3. The context in info box content is in the same language.
Exceptions:
1. Region or language is not supported by Presearch or
2. SearXNG user did not selected a region tag, example::
!presearch bmw :en

* Docker: add UWSGI_WORKERS and UWSGI_THREAD.
UWSGI_WORKERS specifies the number of process.
UWSGI_THREADS specifies the number of threads.
The Docker convention is to specify the whole configuration
through environment variables. While not done in SearXNG, these two
additional variables allows admins to skip uwsgi.ini
In additional, https://github.com/searxng/preview-environments starts Docker
without additional files through searxng-helm-chat.
Each instance consumes 1Go of RAM which is a lot especially when there are a
lot of instances / pull requests.
* [scripts] add environments UWSGI_WORKERS and UWSGI_THREADS
- UWSGI_WORKERS specifies the number of process.
- UWSGI_THREADS specifies the number of threads.
Templates for uwsgi scripts can be tested by::
UWSGI_WORKERS=8 UWSGI_THREADS=9 \
./utils/searxng.sh --cmd\
eval "echo \"$(cat utils/templates/etc/uwsgi/*/searxng.ini*)\""\
| grep "workers\|threads"

This patch was inspired by the discussion around PR-2882 [2]. The goals of this
patch are:
1. Convert plugin searx.plugin.limiter to normal code [1]
2. isolation of botdetection from the limiter [2]
3. searx/{tools => botdetection}/config.py and drop searx.tools
4. in URL /config, 'limiter.enabled' is true only if the limiter is really
enabled (Redis is available).
This patch moves all the code that belongs to botdetection into namespace
searx.botdetection and code that belongs to limiter is placed in namespace
searx.limiter.
Tthe limiter used to be a plugin at some point botdetection was added, it was
not a plugin. The modularization of these two components was long overdue.
With the clear modularization, the documentation could then also be organized
according to the architecture.

- check the app works with the limiter and with the token, check `/config`
- make docs.live .. and read
