Markus Heiser 523a875f1e [mod] isolation of botdetection from SearXNG core 
In PR-2894[1] we isolated botdetection from the limiter, this PR isolates the
botdetection from the SearXNG core code.

This PR also fixes the issue [2] that the ``server.public_instance`` option
needs to activate the limiter.
