Block requests from PetalBlock. Normally robots.txt is enough to stop
PetalBlock from making requests [1]. However, if SearXNG is offered below a
path (example.org/search), then the robots.txt is not available in the root
paths of the domain / subdomain.

Wikipedia's zh-classical is not zh_Hant (see doc-string of engines.wikipedia).
Fixed the example in the doc-string of locales.get_engine_locale() to 'zh_TW'.

To set the language from language recognition and hold the value selected by the
client, the previous implementation creates a copy of the SearchQuery object and
manipulates the SearchQuery object by calling function replace_auto_language().
This patch tries to implement a similar functionality in a more central place,
in function get_search_query_from_webapp() when the SearchQuery object is build
up.
Additional this patch uses the language preferred by the client, if language
recognition does not have a match / the existing implementation does not care
about client preferences and uses 'all' in case of no match.

Follow up of #2269
The script to update the descriptions of the engines does no longer work since
PR #2269 has been merged.
searx/engines/wikipedia.py
==========================
1. There was a misusage of zh-classical.wikipedia.org:
- `zh-classical` is dedicate to classical Chinese [1] which is not
traditional Chinese [2].
- zh.wikipedia.org has LanguageConverter enabled [3] and is going to
dynamically show simplified or traditional Chinese according to the
HTTP Accept-Language header.
2. The update_engine_descriptions.py needs a list of all wikipedias. The
implementation from #2269 included only a reduced list:
- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_article_depth
- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias
searxng_extra/update/update_engine_descriptions.py
==================================================
Before PR #2269 there was a match_language() function that did an approximation
using various methods. With PR #2269 there are only the types in the data model
of the languages, which can be recognized by babel. The approximation methods,
which are needed (only here) in the determination of the descriptions, must be
replaced by other methods.

Since [bb3a01f8] has been merged to the Farside project, Farside instances do no
longer need to send requests to SearXNG instances [1].
There are some old unmaintained Farside instances on the web that continue to
query SearXNG instances --> we can safely block their requests.

When the user press [TAB] the input form should be filled with the highlighted
item from the autocomplete list, but not release a search / with other words:
what we now have by pressing once on [ENTER] should be mapped to the [TAB] key
and pressing [ENTER] once should release a search query. [1]

This PR does no functional change it is just an attempt to make more clear in
the code, what a default category is and what a subcategory is. The previous
name 'others' leads to confusion with the **category 'other'**.
If a engine is not assigned to a category, the default is assigned::
DEFAULT_CATEGORY = 'other'
If an engine has only one category and this category is shown as tab in the user
interface, this engine has no further subgrouping::
NO_SUBGROUPING = 'without further subgrouping'
