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.

Many things have been changed since last review of this engine. This patch fix
xpath selectors, implements suggestion and is a complete review / rewrite of the
engine.

The language_support variable is set to True by default,
and set to False in only 5 engines.
Except the documentation and the /config URL, this variable is not used.
This commit remove the variable definition in the engines, and
set value according to supported_languages length: False when the length is 0,
True otherwise.
Close#2485
use
from searx.engines.duckduckgo import _fetch_supported_languages, supported_languages_url # NOQA
so it is possible to easily remove all unused import using autoflake:
autoflake --in-place --recursive --remove-all-unused-imports searx tests
Add match_language function in utils to match any user given
language code with a list of engine's supported languages.
Also add language_aliases dict on each engine to translate
standard language codes into the custom codes used by the engine.
