[mod] limiter -> botdetection: modularization and documentation

In order to be able to meet the outstanding requirements, the implementation is
modularized and supplemented with documentation.

This patch does not contain functional change, except it fixes issue #2455

----

Aktivate limiter in the settings.yml and simulate a bot request by::

    curl -H 'Accept-Language: de-DE,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3' \
         -H 'Accept: text/html'
         -H 'User-Agent: xyz' \
         -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' \
         'http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=foo'

In the LOG:

    DEBUG   searx.botdetection.link_token : missing ping for this request: .....

Since ``BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS = 2`` you can repeat the query above two time
before you get a "Too Many Requests" response.

Limiter
=======
.. sidebar:: info
The limiter requires a :ref:`Redis <settings redis>` database.
Bot protection / IP rate limitation. The intention of rate limitation is to
limit suspicious requests from an IP. The motivation behind this is the fact
that SearXNG passes through requests from bots and is thus classified as a bot
itself. As a result, the SearXNG engine then receives a CAPTCHA or is blocked
by the search engine (the origin) in some other way.
To avoid blocking, the requests from bots to SearXNG must also be blocked, this
is the task of the limiter. To perform this task, the limiter uses the methods
from the :py:obj:`searx.botdetection`.
To enable the limiter activate:
.. code:: yaml
server:
...
limiter: true # rate limit the number of request on the instance, block some bots
and set the redis-url connection. Check the value, it depends on your redis DB
(see :ref:`settings redis`), by example:
.. code:: yaml
redis:
