[mod] botdetection: trusted proxies
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, 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.

I had to move the get_cnf func to another file (config.py) to prevent cyclic imports since we need to read the list inside _helpers.py
