4d4aa13e1f [mod] remove obsolete EngineTraits.supported_languages
All engines has been migrated from ``supported_languages`` to the
``fetch_traits`` concept.  There is no longer a need for the obsolete code that
implements the ``supported_languages`` concept.

6e5f22e558 [mod] replace engines_languages.json by engines_traits.json
Implementations of the *traits* of the engines.

Engine's traits are fetched from the origin engine and stored in a JSON file in
the *data folder*.  Most often traits are languages and region codes and their
mapping from SearXNG's representation to the representation in the origin search
engine.

To load traits from the persistence::

    searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraitsMap.from_data()

For new traits new properties can be added to the class::

    searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits

.. hint::

   Implementation is downward compatible to the deprecated *supported_languages
   method* from the vintage implementation.

   The vintage code is tagged as *deprecated* an can be removed when all engines
   has been ported to the *traits method*.
