Markus Heiser e8706fb738 [fix] engine & network issues / documentation and type annotations
This patch fixes some quirks and issues related to the engines and the network.
Each engine has its own network and this network was broken for the following
engines[1]:

- archlinux
- bing
- dailymotion
- duckduckgo
- google
- peertube
- startpage
- wikipedia

Since the files have been touched anyway, the type annotaions of the engine
modules has also been completed so that error messages from the type checker are
no longer reported.

Related and (partial) fixed issue:

"""Engine related implementations
.. note::
The long term goal is to modularize all relevant implementations to the
engines here in this Python package. In addition to improved modularization,
this will also be necessary in part because the probability of circular
imports will increase due to the increased typification of implementations in
the future.
ToDo:
- move :py:obj:`searx.engines.load_engine` to a new module `searx.enginelib`.
