Crossref was broken on result types journal-issue and component .. The old code
had lots of assumptions, and broke during parsing. Now the assumptions are more
explicit and checked them with the API.
This PR improves the UX by making auto-scroll more smoother. The css is changed
so all the auto-scroll will be smoother but User-scroll will not be influenced.
The scroll-behavior CSS property sets the behavior for a scrolling box when
scrolling is triggered by the navigation or CSSOM scrolling APIs.[1]

The method EngineTraits.get_region(..) returns engine's region string
that **best fits** to SearXNG's locale. This means it returns a
region (country) if only a language is set in the locale. By example the method
returns for a locale tag `es` a region `ES`.
Google's search parameter `cr` restricts search results to documents originating
in a particular country / in case of a locale tag (language) as described above,
this argument should be unset in the query send to Google.

The search engines deliver hits for many search terms [1], but these are usually
not the focus of the user. In order to arrange these hits further down in the

* this is a small fix to increase the colspan of the category in engine preferences from 7 to 8, since there was a column added
=> fixing a small fallout from 4731290317
incident:
flask_babel.gettext() does not work in the engine modules.
cause:
the request() and response() functions of the engine modules run in the
processor, whose search() method runs in a thread and in the threads the
context of the Flask app does not exist. The context of the Flask app is
needed by the gettext() function for the L10n.
Solution:
copy context of the Flask app into the threads. [1]
special case:
We cannot equip the search() method of the processors with the decorator [1],
because the decorator requires a context (Flask app) that does not yet exist
at the time of the initialization of the processors (the initialization of the
processors is part of the initialization of the Flask app).

Disable btdigg because on most SearXNG instances, SearXNG is blocked by btdigg
due to cloudflare too many requests.
This impementation did not parse the HTML page because there is an API in
XML (RSS). The RSS feed provides fewer data like amount of seeders/leechers and
the files in the torrent file. It's a tradeoff for a "stable" engine as the XML

It seems that Google is rolling out a modified WEB API [1][2].
In the past there was only the UI language in the `hl` argument but nowadays it
seems a combination of the UI language and the "search region" is mixed in this
argument and the `gl` argument has been removed. I'm very surprised that google
is starting to mix the parameters of the UI with the parameters of the search
index.
This patch modifies the get_google_info(..) function. Beside Google-WEB this
function is also used by other Google services, here are some examples to test
region & language of ..
- Google-WEB: `!go dragon boat :en-CA`
- Google-News: `!gon dragon boat :en-CA`
- Google-Videos: `!gov bmw :en-CA`

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

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.

The monolithic implementation of the limiter was divided into methods and
implemented in the Python package searx.botdetection. Detailed documentation on
the methods has been added.
The methods are divided into two groups:
1. Probe HTTP headers
- Method http_accept
- Method http_accept_encoding
- Method http_accept_language
- Method http_connection
- Method http_user_agent
2. Rate limit:
- Method ip_limit
- Method link_token (new)
The (reduced) implementation of the limiter is now in the module
searx.botdetection.limiter. The first group was transferred unchanged to this
module. The ip_limit contains the sliding windows implemented by the limiter so
far.
This merge also fixes some long outstandig issue:
- limiter does not evaluate the Accept-Language correct [1]
- limiter needs a IPv6 prefix to block networks instead of IPs [2]
Without additional configuration the limiter works as before (apart from the
bugfixes). For the commissioning of additional methods (link_toke), a
configuration must be made in an additional configuration file. Without this
configuration, the limiter runs as before (zero configuration).
The ip_limit Method implements the sliding windows of the vanilla limiter,
additionally the link_token method can be used in this method. The link_token
method can be used to investigate whether a request is suspicious. To activate
the link_token method in the ip_limit method add the following to your
/etc/searxng/limiter.toml::
[botdetection.ip_limit]
link_token = true

Over the years, the preferences template became an unmanageable beast. To make
the source code more readable the monolith is splitted into elements. The
splitting into elements also has the advantage that a new template can make use
of them.
The reversed checkbox is a quirk that is only used in the prefereces and must be
eliminated in the long term. For this the macro 'checkbox_onoff_reversed' was
added to the preferences.html template. The 'checkbox' macro is also a quirk of
the preferences.html we don't want to use in other templates (it is an
input-checkbox in a HTML form that was misused for status display).

In my tests I see bots rotating IPs (with endless IP lists). If such a bot has
100 IPs and has three attempts (SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX = 3) then it can successfully
send up to 300 requests in one day while rotating the IP. To block the bots for
a longer period of time the SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW, as the time period in which an
IP is observed, must be increased.
For normal WEB-browsers this is no problem, because the SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW is
deleted as soon as the CSS with the token is loaded.
SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW = 3600 * 24 * 30
Time (sec) before sliding window for one suspicious IP expires.
SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX = 3
Maximum requests from one suspicious IP in the :py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW`."""

- counting requests in LONG_WINDOW and BURST_WINDOW is not needed when the
request is validated by the link_token method [1]
- renew a ping-key on validation [2], this is needed for infinite scrolling,
where no new token (CSS) is loaded. / this does not fix the BURST_MAX issue in
the vanilla limiter
- normalize the counter names of the ip_limit method to 'ip_limit.*'
- just integrate the ip_limit method straight forward in the limiter plugin /
non intermediate code --> ip_limit now returns None or a werkzeug.Response

To intercept bots that get their IPs from a range of IPs, there is a
``SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW``. In this window the suspicious IPs are stored for a
longer time. IPs stored in this sliding window have a maximum of
``SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX`` accesses before they are blocked. As soon as the IP makes
a request that is not suspicious, the sliding window for this IP is droped.
