[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Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases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``.
