Markus Heiser 9c68980ea1 [fix] startpage engine: language/region & time support & fix CAPTCHA
One reason for the often seen CAPTCHA of the startpage requests are the
incomplete requests SearXNG sends to startpage.com.  To avoid CAPTCHA we need to
send a well formed HTTP POST request with a cookie, we need to form a request
that is identical to the request build by startpage.com itself:

- in the cookie the **region** is selected
- in the POST arguments the **language** is selected

Based on the *engine_properties* boilerplate, SearXNG's startpage engine now
implements a `_fetch_engine_properties()` function to fetch regions & languages
from startpage.com.

This patch is a complete new implementation of the request() function, reversed
engineered from the startpage.com page.  The new implementation adds

- time-range support
- save-search support

to the startpage engine which has been missed in the past.

Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/1081
