I've been profiling the `/preferences` endpoint using werkzeug's
`ProfilerMiddleware` (i.e. just do `app.wsgi_app = ProfilerMiddleware(app.wsgi_app)`)
and look at the outputs in the terminal when doing `make run`.
It turns out that 95%+ of the time spent were inside babel's
Locale parsing (> 700ms on my machine). That's because, when opening the settings,
we loaded the full engine traits of each engine and checked if it matches
the user-defined search language. As we have 250+ engines, and babel is
very slow when parsing Locale's, this took a very long time.
By removing this feature that shows whether the selected search language
is supported by the engine, the load time went down from 800ms to 50ms
on my machine (which is still very slow, but well, that's future work on
optimizing).
This patch implements the template generation of the template:
searx/templates/simple/icons.html
by the way the icon set (the icon names) has been normalized:
film-outline --> film
magnet-outline --> magnet
..
warning --> alert
Some missing (categorie) icons had been added.
Some of the ionicons are not suitable for a dark theme, we fixed the svg
manually in src/svg/ionicons:

* this is a small fix to increase the colspan of the category in engine preferences from 7 to 8, since there was a column added
=> fixing a small fallout from 4731290317
HINT: this patch has no functional change / it is the preparation for following
changes and bugfixes
Over the years, the preferences template became an unmanageable beast. To make
the source code more readable the monolith is splitted into elements. The
splitting into elements also has the advantage that a new template can make use
of them.
The reversed checkbox is a quirk that is only used in the prefereces and must be
eliminated in the long term. For this the macro 'checkbox_onoff_reversed' was
added to the preferences.html template. The 'checkbox' macro is also a quirk of
the preferences.html we don't want to use in other templates (it is an
input-checkbox in a HTML form that was misused for status display).
