[mod] remove option ui.static_use_hash (cache busting) (#5004)
Cache busting has caused serious problems for users in the past, here are two
examples:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4419
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4481

And it makes development and deployment significantly more complex because it
binds the client side to the server side:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4466

In the light of a decoupled development of the WEB clients from the server side:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4988

is it appropriate to abandon this feature. In fact,  it has been ineffective
since #4436 anyway.

However, the benefit has always been questionable, since at best only a few kB
of data are saved (at least in the context of an image_proxy, the effect is below
the detection limit). Ultimately, the client is responsible for caching.

[mod] migrate from Redis to Valkey (#4795)
This patch migrates from `redis==5.2.1` [1] to `valkey==6.1.0` [2].

The migration to valkey is necessary because the company behind Redis has decided
to abandon the open source license. After experiencing a drop in user numbers,
they now want to run it under a dual license again. But this move demonstrates
once again how unreliable the company is and how it treats open source
developers.

To review first, read the docs::

    $ make docs.live

Follow the instructions to remove redis:

- http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_redis.html

Config and install a local valkey DB:

- http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_valkey.html

[1] https://pypi.org/project/redis/
[2] https://pypi.org/project/valkey/

5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

bfef2c3b65 [fix] buildprocess of docs in LXC (containers)
The $DOCS_BUILD variable (like all BUILD variables) in the lxc environment::

   sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux make docs

is different from running build process in the HOST::

   make docs

with kernel-include directive we can use the environment variables in the reST
documents to address the correct file location of the include.
