A new "base" engine called command is introduced. It is the foundation for all command line engines for now.
You can use this engine to create your own command line engine.
Add some engines (commented out to make sure no one enables anything accidentally):
* git grep: This engine lets you grep in the searx repo.
* locate: If locate is installed and initialized, you can search on the FS.
* find: You can find files with a specific name from where you started searx.
* pattern search in files: This engine utilizes the command fgrep.
* regex search in files: This engine runs `grep` to find a file based on its contents.
Sending queries through POST, while better for privacy, breaks functionality
with certain extensions (e.g. Firefox containers). Since Firefox does
not send cookies when requesting `/opensearch.xml`, users cannot easily
switch to GET on the client side unless they make a custom search
engine. This commit allows admins to modify the default method on their
side so they can set it to GET if needed.
- enabling HTTPS for sci-hub.tw by default
- making sci-hub the default DOI resolver as it has the largest collection of scientific articles.
- replaced doai.io with dissem.in, as it redirects to this new domain.

The new url parameter "timeout_limit" set timeout limit defined in second.
Example "timeout_limit=1.5" means the timeout limit is 1.5 seconds.
In addition, the query can start with <[number] to set the timeout limit.
For number between 0 and 99, the unit is the second :
Example: "<30 searx" means the timeout limit is 3 seconds
For number above 100, the unit is the millisecond:
Example: "<850 searx" means the timeout is 850 milliseconds.
In addition, there is a new optional setting: outgoing.max_request_timeout.
If not set, the user timeout can't go above searx configuration (as before: the max timeout of selected engine for a query).
If the value is set, the user can set a timeout between 0 and max_request_timeout using
<[number] or timeout_limit query parameter.
