Subject: [PATCH] [chore] drop lingva engine / lingva-translate no onger
 maintained

The lingva-translate seems to be dead. Even the instances specified in the
README [1] have not been updated for 12 months and no longer correspond to the
current status, for example https://translate.projectsegfau.lt/ has already
switched to Mozhi.

The official instance lingva.ml keeps failing [2] and seems to me to have a
different interface than we have implemented in the engine.  Somehow it all
seems to be a bit of a mess, I can't think of any other solution than to take
the engine out of SearXNG for the time being (unfortunately).
