* [mod] update_engine_descriptions.py - revision of the script (#6309)

The script was a bit outdated, type hints were missing, and the strings were
converted to double quotation marks

The `descriptions.items()` are sorted to avoid assigning the references to
seen_descriptions randomly (should reduce unnecessary diffs in the future).

Markus Heiser 6c9dcd4242 [chore] complete and normalize the attributes of engine objects (#6258)
Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases

Complete, normalize and document the type definitions for the engine-module and
engine-class.

For the ``engine.about`` section of the configuration, a type check is performed
based on structure ``searx.enginelib.EngineAbout``.

The property ``engine.about.language`` no longer exists; existing values have
been migrated to ``engine.language``.

Markus HeiserandGitHub 26801e92af [fix] sqlitedb: create DB Schema (DDL) during app initialization (hardening) (#6187)
The initialization of the DB schema ("base schema") has so far been done on
demand, which causes race conditions with competing threads and processes.

The DDL statements for creating the "base schema" are now executed as part of
the initialization of the app.

Further improvements were made to harden the database applications:

- Wikidata & Radio-Browser engine perform their initialization only once (so far
  the initialization was carried out in each thread/process).

- If multiple processes try to set DB's WAL mode when opening the DB at the same
  time, this usually leads to another race condition, which is now also caught.

Markus HeiserandGitHub dd27fce3b7 [unbload] drop meaningless field `number_of_results_xpath` from results (#6130)
In the result-list, the ``number_of_results`` indicate the number of hits in the
Index, they do not indicate how many results are in the answer.

In the past, search engines such as google or ddg had an indication on the first
page of a search term of how many hits there were for this term in total in
their index.

This info was added up in SearXNG and delivered under ``number_of_results``.
Nowadays the search engines no longer indicate how many hits there are in the
index and so this field in SearXNG is also superfluous.

In the past, we have used different names for the variable that specifies the

- ``page_size``

Since *page_size* is the most accurate term and is also used in the XPath
engines, all other engines are adjusted accordingly within this
patch .. documentation adjusted accordingly.

Markus HeiserandGitHub 99ec6f296e [mod] drop support for Python releases older than 4 years (#5895)
The end-of-life (EOL) of a Python release is reached after 5 years, with the
last three years dedicated to security fixes. [1]

Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to common libraries (dependencies): bug fixes
are often only included in major releases, and minor releases with corresponding
security fixes are rarely offered.

To make matters worse, these dependencies often prematurely discontinue their
support for older Python releases (because, for example, they want/need to use
new Python features).

If we want to offer secure software, we are faced with the dilemma of either
supporting old Python releases and accepting that there are security bugs in the
dependencies, or ending support for older Python versions before the actual EOL
of the Python release.

For videos from ``www.youtube.com`` this patch adds ``referrerpolicy`` and other
by YT required permission policies for the iframe.

API Clients that use the YouTube embedded player (including the YouTube IFrame
Player API) must provide identification through the HTTP ``Referer`` request
header[1].

If the error still occurs, check if server headers (e.g., in .htaccess or Nginx)

Markus HeiserandGitHub 191818b865 [mod] drop SearXNG's checker (#5767)
To date, there is no analysis for the checker that could be evaluated in any
meaningful way.

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/3407
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3312

The checker would need to be completely redesigned, but even then, its
usefulness and the maintenance required for it would be disproportionate.

TBH: In its current form, it is useless and only consumes resources and
causes the engines to be blocked, because these tests (query terms) come
from *hundreds* of instances and could be interpreted as bot attacks.

Class 'File' (singular) replaces template 'files.html' (plural).  The renaming
was carried out because there is only one file (singular) in a result. Not to be
confused with the category 'files' where in multiple results can exist.

As mentioned in issue [1], the class '.category-files' was removed from the CSS
and the stylesheet was adopted in result_types/file.less (there based on the
templates and no longer based on the category).

Markus HeiserandBnyro ee6d4f322f [mod] engine: reuters - REST-API for Reuter's thumbnail, height:80
The size of the full-size images from ``thumbnail.url`` is usually several
MB. By reducing the full-size image to 80 pixels, the data size for a thumb is
reduced from MB to a few KB.

Markus Heiser e840e3f960 [fix] engine mullvadleta - ignore HTTP 403 & 429 response
It doesn't matter if you're using Mullvad's VPN and a proper browser, you'll
still get blocked for specific searches [1] with a 403 or 429 HTTP status code.
Mullvad only blocks the search request and doesn't prevent you from doing more
searches.

The logic should handle the blocked requests (403, 429), but not put the engine
on a cooldown.
