Add a new setting: general.donation_url
By default the value is https://docs.searxng.org/donate.html
When the value is false, the link is hidden
When the value is true, the link goes to the infopage donation,
the administrator can create a custom page.
There are several reasons why we should prefer markdown-it-py over mistletoe:
- Get identical rendering results in SearXNG's `/info` pages and the SearXNG's
project documentation which is build by Sphinx-doc.
In the Sphinx-doc we use the MyST parser to render Markdown and the MyST
parser itself is built on top of the markdown-it-py package.
- markdown-it-py has a typographer that supports *replacements*
and *smartquotes* (e.g. em-dash, copyright, ellipsis, ...) [1]
- markdown-it-py is much more flexible compared to mistletoe [2]
- markdown-it-py is the fastest CommonMark compliant parser in python [3]

cache_property has been added in py3.8 [1]
To support cache_property in py3.7 the implementation from 3.8 has been
copied to compat.py. This code can be cleanup with EOL of py3.7.

This patch implements a bolierplate to share content from info-pages of the
SearXNG instance (URL /info) with the project documentation (path /docs/user).
The info pages are using Markdown (CommonMark), to include them in the project
documentation (reST) the myst-parser [1] is used in the Sphinx-doc build chain.
If base_url is known (defined in settings.yml) links to the instance are also
inserted into the project documentation::
