[fix] Qwant engines - implement API v3 and add 'quant videos'

The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of https://www.qwant.com/ queries. This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml:: - name: qwant categories: general ... - name: qwant news categories: news ... - name: qwant images categories: images ... - name: qwant videos categories: videos ...
