[fix] improve OpenSearch description
Some HTTP-Clients do have issues with the ``opensearch.xml`` from SearXNG (related [1][2]) while other OpenSearch descriptions[3] (e.g. from qwant) work flawles. Inspired by the OpenSearch description from qwant and with informations from the specification[4] the ``opensearch.xml`` has been *improved*. - convert `<Url>` methods from lower case to upper case (`POST`|`GET`) - add `<moz:SearchForm>` and `xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"` - add `<Query role="example" searchTerms="SearXNG" />` [4] OpenSearch description documents should include at least one Query element of `role="example"` that is expected to return search results. Search clients may use this example query to validate that the search engine is working properly. - modified `<LongName>` to SearXNG - modified `<Description>` the word 'hackable' scares uninitiated users and was removed - add the `type="image/png"` to `<Image>` Test can be done by:: make run Visit http://127.0.0.1:8888/ and add the search engine to your WEB-Browser / test with different WEB-Browser from desktop and Smartphones (are there any iOS user here, please test on Safari and Chrome).
