The implementation of the etools engine is poor. No date-range support, no
language support and it is broken by a CAPTCHA.
etools is a metasearch engine, the major search engines it supports (google,
bing, wikipedia, Yahoo) are already available in SeaarXNG.
While etools does support several engines we currently don't support directly,
support for them should be added directly to SearXNG if there is demand.
In practice: in SearXNG the worse etools results will be mixed with good results
from other engines we have (as long as there is no captcha).
At best case, what we win with etools is in e.g. results from de.ask.com in a
query from a german request .. in all other cases worse results are bubble up in
SearXNG's result list.

The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.

Disable the python code formatting from python-black, where the readability of
code suffers by formatting.

Follow up queries for the pages needed to be fixed.
- Split search-term in one for initial query and one for following queries.
- Set some headers in HTTP requests, bing needs for paging support.
- IMO //div[@class="sa_cc"] does no longer match in a bing response.

Fix remarks from pylint and improved code-style. In preparation for a bug-fix
of the Bing (Web) engine I add this engine to the pylint-list.

In the video search, google also sometimes includes news. E.g. in the DE
language when you search for `!gov paris`, google adds an article from a german
newspaper (FAZ), I assume these are sponsored link (not tagged advertisement?)
Those links do not have an image / this patch ignores *video links* wqithout an
image ID.

Sometimes there is no href in the `<a ..>` tag of a *link_node* [1].

Languages are supported by mapping the language to a domain. If domain is not
found in :py:obj:`lang2domain` URL ``<lang>.search.yahoo.com`` is used.
