   Fix template location /templates/etc/searx/settings.yml

modified   docs/dev/makefile.rst
  Add description of the 'make buildenv' target and describe
  - we have all SearXNG setups are centralized in the settings.yml file
  - why some tasks need a utils/brand.env (aka instance's buildenv)

modified   manage
  Settings file from repository's working tree are used by default and
  ask user if a /etc/searx/settings.yml file exists.

modified   searx/settings.yml
  Add comments about when it is needed to run 'make buildenv'

modified   searx/settings_defaults.py
  Default for server:port is taken from enviroment variable SEARX_PORT.

modified   utils/build_env.py
  - Some defaults in the settings.yml are taken from the environment,
    e.g. SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS (searx.settings_defaults.SHEMA).  When the
    'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
    unset first.
  - The CONTACT_URL enviroment is not needed in the utils/brand.env
