[chore] complete and normalize the attributes of engine objects (#6258)

Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases

Complete, normalize and document the type definitions for the engine-module and
engine-class.

For the ``engine.about`` section of the configuration, a type check is performed
based on structure ``searx.enginelib.EngineAbout``.

The property ``engine.about.language`` no longer exists; existing values have
been migrated to ``engine.language``.

Monkey-patching modules is a practice from the past that shouldn't be
expanded upon. In the long run, there should be an engine class that can be
inherited. However, as long as this class doesn't exist, and as long as all
engine modules aren't converted to an engine class, these builtin types will
still be needed.
