Markus Heiser 9215281232 [mod] replace Markdown parser mistletoe by markdown-it-py
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]
