Since #5280 has been merged, msgspec, like yaml, is a fixed part of the SearXNG
*settings framework* and therefore, like yaml, must be installed in the virtual
environment before installing SearXNG (``searx``).
The actual reason is that in SearXNG we store settings in the configuration that
are required for the installation of the ``searx`` package. This means that
these settings (from settings.yml) are read in during the installation, and all the
necessary tools for this (pyyaml, msgspec, setuptools, etc.) must be installed
beforehand (chicken or the egg dilemma).

BTW force modularization of the ./mange script into sub modules:
- utils/lib_sxng_data.sh
- utils/lib_sxng_node.sh
- utils/lib_sxng_static.sh
- utils/lib_sxng_test.sh
- utils/lib_sxng_themes.sh

modified docs/admin/engines/settings.rst
- Fix documentation and add section 'brand'.
- Add remarks about **buildenv** variables.
- Add remarks about settings from environment variables $SEARX_DEBUG,
$SEARX_PORT, $SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS and $SEARX_SECRET
modified docs/admin/installation-searx.rst & docs/build-templates/searx.rst
Fix template location /templates/etc/searx/settings.yml
modified docs/dev/makefile.rst
Add description of the 'make buildenv' target and describe
- we have all SearXNG setups are centralized in the settings.yml file
- why some tasks need a utils/brand.env (aka instance's buildenv)
modified manage
Settings file from repository's working tree are used by default and
ask user if a /etc/searx/settings.yml file exists.
modified searx/settings.yml
Add comments about when it is needed to run 'make buildenv'
modified searx/settings_defaults.py
Default for server:port is taken from enviroment variable SEARX_PORT.
modified utils/build_env.py
- Some defaults in the settings.yml are taken from the environment,
e.g. SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS (searx.settings_defaults.SHEMA). When the
'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
unset first.
- The CONTACT_URL enviroment is not needed in the utils/brand.env

Since #2291 is merged, it is recommend to use::
use_default_settings=True
1. Add a template file use_default_settings.yml::
SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE="${REPO_ROOT}/utils/templates/etc/searx/use_default_settings.yml"
2. In Chapter "Configuration" recommend to make use of
'use_default_settings=True' and describe it
3. Rewrite of docs/admin/settings.rst
- move chapter 'settings.yml location' to the top
- update and split chapter 'Global Settings'
4. Add environment SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE to .config.sh
5. Use environment $SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE in the utils/searx.sh script

Escape the all the quotation marks (" --> \") in docs/build-templates.
The scripts are *bash evaluated* (e.g)::
eval "echo \"$(< "${REPO_ROOT}/docs/build-templates/searx.rst")\""
Backslash, quotation marks and other need to be escaped.
