This patch adds the boilerplate code, needed to fetch properties from engines.
In the past we only fetched *languages* but some engines need *regions* to
parameterize the engine request.
To fit into our *fetch language* procedures the boilerplate is implemented in
the `searxng_extra/update/update_languages.py` and the *engine_properties* are
stored along in the `searx/data/engines_languages.json`.
This implementation is downward compatible to the `_fetch_fetch_languages()`
infrastructure we have. If there comes the day we have all
`_fetch_fetch_languages()` implementations moved to `_fetch_engine_properties()`
implementations, we can rename the files and scripts.
The new type `engine_properties` is a dictionary with keys `languages` and
`regions`. The values are dictionaries to map from SearXNG's language & region
to option values the engine does use::
engine_properties = {
'type' : 'engine_properties', # <-- !!!
'regions': {
# 'ca-ES' : <engine's region name>
},
'languages': {
# 'ca' : <engine's language name>
},
}
Similar to the `supported_languages`, in the engine the properties are available
under the name `supported_properties`.
Initial we start with languages & regions, but in a wider sense the type is
named *engine properties*. Engines can store in whatever options they need and
may be in the future there is a need to fetch additional or complete different
properties.

Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.
Previously the documentation grouped the engines by their first
category so e.g. YouTube and Invidious were only shown in the
in the videos section but not in the music section.
This commit fixes this by iterating over searx.engines.categories,
which also has the added benefit that the sections are now in the
same order as the tabs in the user interface.
