[mod] limiter: trusted proxies (#4911)
Replaces `x_for` functionality with `trusted_proxies`. This allows defining
which IP / ranges to trust extracting the client IP address from X-Forwarded-For
and X-Real-IP headers.

We don't know if the proxy chain will give us the proper client
address (REMOTE_ADDR in the WSGI environment), so we rely on reading the headers
of the proxy before SearXNG (if there is one, in that case it must be added to
trusted_proxies) hoping it has done the proper checks. In case a proxy in the
chain does not check the client address correctly, integrity is compromised and
this should be fixed by whoever manages the proxy, not us.
