We have been using a static type checker (pyright) for a long time, but its
check was not yet a prerequisite for passing the quality gate. It was checked
in the CI, but the error messages were only logged.
As is always the case in life, with checks that you have to do but which have no
consequences; you neglect them :-)
We didn't activate the checks back then because we (even today) have too much
monkey patching in our code (not only in the engines, httpx and others objects
are also affected).
We want to replace monkey patching with clear interfaces for a long time, the
basis for this is increased typing and we can only achieve this if we make type
checking an integral part of the quality gate.
This PR activates the type check; in order to pass the check, a few typings
were corrected in the code, but most type inconsistencies were deactivated via
inline comments.
This was particularly necessary in places where the code uses properties that
stick to the objects (monkey patching). The sticking of properties only happens
in a few places, but the access to these properties extends over the entire
code, which is why there are many `# type: ignore` markers in the code ... which
we will hopefully be able to remove again successively in the future.

In the past, some files were tested with the standard profile, others with a
profile in which most of the messages were switched off ... some files were not
checked at all.
- ``PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTION`` has been abolished
- the distinction ``# lint: pylint`` is no longer necessary
- the pylint tasks have been reduced from three to two
1. ./searx/engines -> lint engines with additional builtins
2. ./searx ./searxng_extra ./tests -> lint all other python files

it prepares the new architecture change,
everything about multithreading in moved in the searx.search.* packages
previously the call to the "init" function of the engines was done in searx.engines:
* the network was not set (request not sent using the defined proxy)
* it requires to monkey patch the code to avoid HTTP requests during the tests
Xpath engine and results template changed to account for the fact that
archive.org doesn't cache .onions, though some onion engines migth have
their own cache.
Disabled by default. Can be enabled by setting the SOCKS proxies to
wherever Tor is listening and setting using_tor_proxy as True.
Requires Tor and updating packages.
To avoid manually adding the timeout on each engine, you can set
extra_proxy_timeout to account for Tor's (or whatever proxy used) extra
time.
