Engines like Pexels provide images that one would more likely expect in a category named ``stock_images``. By classifying engines like Pexels more precisely, we enable a more specific handling of them, which also helps to avoid mixing them with the more general image search on the internet. [1] We leave these engines *enabled* by default, take them out of ``images`` and move them into the specialization ``stock_images``. This makes it possible, on the one hand, for the admin to configure a tab in the UI, and on the other hand, the user can always select the group directly using the search syntax ``!stock_images ...``. What we need to keep in mind: 1. Technically speaking, there are no subcategories in the strict sense. Organizationally, the *subcategories* are derived from the `categories_as_tabs`. 2. From an admin’s perspective, `categories_as_tabs` is the tool for structuring their content. 3. In the context of “enabled/disabled by default”: We should avoid having the admin have to activate many individual engines when they want to structure their content (UI tabs). So if we leave an engine enabled by default and **move** it from `images` to a new category, the admin only needs to add the new category to `categories_as_tabs` to restructure their content. If the new category is also part of the translations (see `searx/searxng.msg` in this PR), this UI structure would also be available internationally.
