Markus Heiser b1912607ae [mod] replace /help by /info pages and include pages in project docs
This patch implements a bolierplate to share content from info-pages of the
SearXNG instance (URL /info) with the project documentation (path /docs/user).

The info pages are using Markdown (CommonMark), to include them in the project
documentation (reST) the myst-parser [1] is used in the Sphinx-doc build chain.

If base_url is known (defined in settings.yml) links to the instance are also
inserted into the project documentation::

    searxng_extra/docs_prebuild

# Search syntax
SearXNG allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language
via the search query.
Prefix `!` to set category and engine names.
Prefix: `:` to set the language.
Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted. Engine/category
modifiers are chainable and inclusive. E.g. with {{search('!map !ddg !wp paris')}}
search in map category **and** duckduckgo **and** wikipedia for
`paris`.
See the {{link('preferences', 'preferences')}} for the list of engines,
categories and languages.
## Examples
Search in wikipedia for `paris`:
* {{search('!wp paris')}}
* {{search('!wikipedia paris')}}
Search in category `map` for `paris`:
* {{search('!map paris')}}
Image search:
* {{search('!images Wau Holland')}}
Custom language in wikipedia:
* {{search(':fr !wp Wau Holland')}}
