[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::

Command (offline)
"""With *command engines* administrators can run engines to integrate arbitrary
shell commands.
.. attention::
When creating and enabling a ``command`` engine on a public instance, you
must be careful to avoid leaking private data.
The easiest solution is to limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described
in section :ref:`private engines`. The engine base is flexible. Only your
imagination can limit the power of this engine (and maybe security concerns).
Configuration
=============
The following options are available:
``command``:
A comma separated list of the elements of the command. A special token
``{{QUERY}}`` tells where to put the search terms of the user. Example:
.. code:: yaml
['ls', '-l', '-h', '{{QUERY}}']
``delimiter``:
A mapping containing a delimiter ``char`` and the *titles* of each element in
``keys``.
``parse_regex``:
A dict containing the regular expressions for each result key.
``query_type``:
The expected type of user search terms. Possible values: ``path`` and
``enum``.
``path``:
Checks if the user provided path is inside the working directory. If not,
the query is not executed.
``enum``:
Is a list of allowed search terms. If the user submits something which is
not included in the list, the query returns an error.
``query_enum``:
A list containing allowed search terms if ``query_type`` is set to ``enum``.
``working_dir``:
The directory where the command has to be executed. Default: ``./``.
``result_separator``:
The character that separates results. Default: ``\\n``.
Example
=======
The example engine below can be used to find files with a specific name in the
configured working directory:
.. code:: yaml
- name: find
engine: command
command: ['find', '.', '-name', '{{QUERY}}']
query_type: path
shortcut: fnd
delimiter:
chars: ' '
keys: ['line']
Implementations
