[mod] client/simple: client plugins (#5406)

* [mod] client/simple: client plugins

Defines a new interface for client side *"plugins"* that coexist with server
side plugin system. Each plugin (e.g., `InfiniteScroll`) extends the base
`ts Plugin`. Client side plugins are independent and lazy‑loaded via `router.ts`
when their `load()` conditions are met. On each navigation request, all
applicable plugins are instanced.

Since these are client side plugins, we can only invoke them once DOM is fully
loaded. E.g. `Calculator` will not render a new `answer` block until fully
loaded and executed.

For some plugins, we might want to handle its availability in `settings.yml`
and toggle in UI, like we do for server side plugins. In that case, we extend
`py Plugin` instancing only the information and then checking client side if
[`settings.plugins`](https://github.com/inetol/searxng/blob/1ad832b1dc33f3f388da361ff2459b05dc86a164/client/simple/src/js/toolkit.ts#L134)
array has the plugin id.

The implementation to support :py:obj:`paging <searx.enginelib.Engine.paging>`
is based on the *nextpage* method of Piped's REST API / the :py:obj:`frontend
API <frontend_url>`. This feature is *next page driven* and plays well with the
:ref:`infinite_scroll <settings ui>` setting in SearXNG but it does not really
fit into SearXNG's UI to select a page by number.
