Markus Heiser 5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

Markus Heiser f3763d73ad [mod] limiter: blocklist and passlist (ip_lists)
A blocklist and a passlist can be configured in /etc/searxng/limiter.toml::

    [botdetection.ip_lists]
    pass_ip = [
      '51.15.252.168',  # IPv4 of check.searx.space
    ]

    block_ip = [
      '93.184.216.34',  # IPv4 of example.org
    ]

Markus Heiser 1ec325adcc [mod] limiter -> botdetection: modularization and documentation
In order to be able to meet the outstanding requirements, the implementation is
modularized and supplemented with documentation.

This patch does not contain functional change, except it fixes issue #2455

----

Aktivate limiter in the settings.yml and simulate a bot request by::

    curl -H 'Accept-Language: de-DE,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3' \
         -H 'Accept: text/html'
         -H 'User-Agent: xyz' \
         -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' \
         'http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=foo'

In the LOG:

    DEBUG   searx.botdetection.link_token : missing ping for this request: .....

Since ``BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS = 2`` you can repeat the query above two time
before you get a "Too Many Requests" response.
