ab8e5383fb [mod] remove X-XSS-Protection headers
Deprecated header not used by browsers nowadays[1]:

"""In modern browsers, X-XSS-Protection has been deprecated in favor of the
Content-Security-Policy to disable the use of inline JavaScript. Its use can
introduce XSS vulnerabilities in otherwise safe websites. This should not be
used unless you need to support older web browsers that don’t yet support CSP.
It is thus recommended to set the header as X-XSS-Protection: 0."""[2]

f9c5727ddc [mod] get rid of ./utils/brand.env and its workflow
All the environments defined in ./utils/brand.env are generated on the fly, so
there is no longer a need to define the brand environment in this file and all
the workflows to handle this file.

d13a8f6453 [mod] document server:public_instance & remove it out of the botdetection
- the option server:public_instance lacks some documentation
- the processing of this option belongs in the limiter and not
  in botdetection module

fd814aac86 [mod] isolation of botdetection from the limiter
This patch was inspired by the discussion around PR-2882 [2].  The goals of this
patch are:

1. Convert plugin searx.plugin.limiter to normal code [1]
2. isolation of botdetection from the limiter [2]
3. searx/{tools => botdetection}/config.py and drop searx.tools
4. in URL /config, 'limiter.enabled' is true only if the limiter is really
   enabled (Redis is available).

This patch moves all the code that belongs to botdetection into namespace
searx.botdetection and code that belongs to limiter is placed in namespace
searx.limiter.

Tthe limiter used to be a plugin at some point botdetection was added, it was
not a plugin.  The modularization of these two components was long overdue.
With the clear modularization, the documentation could then also be organized
according to the architecture.

To test:

- check the app works without the limiter, check `/config`
- check the app works with the limiter and with the token, check `/config`
- make docs.live .. and read
  - http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/searx.limiter.html
  - http://0.0.0.0:8000/src/searx.botdetection.html#botdetection

5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live
