Markus Heiser 2313b972a3 [fix] engines: base URL can be a list or a string, but its not None!
The code injection and monkey patching examine the names in the module of the
engine; if a variable there starts without an underscore and has the value None,
then this variable needs to be configured. This outdated concept does not fit
engines that may have multiple URLs. At least not as long as the value of the
base URL (list) is None.

The default is now an empty list instead of None
