* [mod] container: replace uWSGI with Granian

The configuration in Granian is handled with ENVs, much more convenient and practical for updating. The settings have been tested for over two months in a production instance, being usable on small to somewhat large instances without having to modify anything.

It also removes the patch functions and ENVs abstraction from the entrypoint, this makes it possible to run the container with immutable configuration.

In some setups, It may be desired to have the volumes/files under a specific uid/gid (other than searxng:searxng), if the entrypoint has root permissions it will chown automatically on every start, which may not be desired. Explicitly setting the new ENV `FORCE_OWNERSHIP=false` will prevent ownership from being modified.

No manual migration is necessary **unless** the user has changed the default uWSGI configuration or has a very specific setup.

Simply Nginx example by using alias directive for subdirectory URL
We explicitly specific the static directory here using alias to allow to
host from a other subdirectory than "searx" which just so happens to
match the source code directory.

Fix Nginx subdir URL install docs which allowed download of settings.yml
Closes: #1617

There is an issue with the setup example in https://asciimoo.github.io/searx/dev/install/installation.html#installation for subdirectory URL deployments:

```nginx
root /usr/local/searx;

location = /searx { rewrite ^ /searx/; }
        try_files $uri @searx;
}
location @searx {
        uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_modifier1 30;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
```

`try_files` causes Nginx to search for files in the server root first. If it matches a file, it is returned. Only if no file matched, the request is passed to uwsgi. The worst consequence I can think of is that  `settings.yml` can be downloaded without authentication (where secrets and configuration details are stored).

To fix this, I propose:

```nginx
location = /searx {
        rewrite ^ /searx/;
}

location /searx/static {
}

location /searx {
        uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
```

And add

```
route-run = fixpathinfo:
```

to `/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searx.ini` because `uwsgi_modifier1 30` is apparently deprecated. Ref: https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Changelog-2.0.11.html#fixpathinfo-routing-action

I assume this issue exists because some uwsgi upstream docs also use the `try_files` construct (at least I have seen this somewhere in the docs or somewhere else on the Internet but cannot find it right now again).

https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Nginx.html#hosting-multiple-apps-in-the-same-process-aka-managing-script-name-and-path-info also warns about this:

> If used incorrectly a configuration like this may cause security problems. For your sanity’s sake, double-triple-quadruple check that your application files, configuration files and any other sensitive files are outside of the root of the static files.
