Markus Heiser e8706fb738 [fix] engine & network issues / documentation and type annotations
This patch fixes some quirks and issues related to the engines and the network.
Each engine has its own network and this network was broken for the following
engines[1]:

- archlinux
- bing
- dailymotion
- duckduckgo
- google
- peertube
- startpage
- wikipedia

Since the files have been touched anyway, the type annotaions of the engine
modules has also been completed so that error messages from the type checker are
no longer reported.

Related and (partial) fixed issue:

User experience
---------------

- Reworked (and still simple) theme:

  * Usable on desktop, tablet and mobile.
  * Light and dark versions (available in the preferences).
  * Right-to-left language support.
  * `Screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_

- The translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- The preferences page has been updated:

  * Browse which engines are reliable or not.
  * Engines are grouped inside each tab.
  * Each engine has a description.

- Thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report malfunctioning engines,
  so they get fixed quicker

  - `Turn off metrics on the server
    <https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_ if you don't want them recorded.

- Administrators can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
  <https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_


Setup
-----

- No need for `Morty`_ to proxy images, even on a public instance.
- No need for `Filtron`_ to block bots, as there is now a built-in `limiter`_.
- A well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures.
  (Alternatively there are up to date installation scripts.)

.. _Docker image: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker


Contributing
------------

- Readable debug log.
- Contributing is easier, thanks to the `Development Quickstart`_ guide.
- A lot of code cleanup and bugfixes.
- Up to date list dependencies.
