This patch replaces the *full of magic* ``utils.match_language`` function by a ``locales.match_locale``. The ``locales.match_locale`` function is based on the ``locales.build_engine_locales`` introduced in 9ae409a0 [1]. In the past SearXNG did only support a search by a language but not in a region. This has been changed a long time ago and regions have been added to SearXNG core but not to the engines. The ``utils.match_language`` was the function to handle the different aspects of language/regions in SearXNG core and the supported *languages* in the engine. The ``utils.match_language`` did it with some magic and works good for most use cases but fails in some edge case. To replace the concurrence of languages and regions in the SearXNG core the ``locales.build_engine_locales`` was introduced in 9ae409a0 [1]. With the last patches all engines has been migrated to a ``fetch_traits`` and a language/region concept that is based on ``locales.build_engine_locales``. To summarize: there is no longer a need for the ``locales.match_language``. [1] https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1652 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>

User experience
---------------
- Reworked (and still simple) theme:
* Usable on desktop, tablet and mobile.
* Light and dark versions (available in the preferences).
* Right-to-left language support.
* `Screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_
- The translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- The preferences page has been updated:
* Browse which engines are reliable or not.
* Engines are grouped inside each tab.
* Each engine has a description.
- Thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report malfunctioning engines,
so they get fixed quicker
- `Turn off metrics on the server
<https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_ if you don't want them recorded.
- Administrators can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
<https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_
Setup
-----
- No need for `Morty`_ to proxy images, even on a public instance.
- No need for `Filtron`_ to block bots, as there is now a built-in `limiter`_.
- A well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures.
(Alternatively there are up to date installation scripts.)
