Prune 84 SearXNG engines; images category now sub-1s
kuhy went through the /preferences engine table and selected every erroring
engine (CAPTCHA / access denied / timeout / parsing error / crash) plus the
slow tail, across all nine categories. Applied all of them, keeping only
google cse images for the images category as requested.

Result: unresponsive_engines is now [] in EVERY category. Per-category
latency (q=linux): general 572ms, images 406ms, videos 1378ms, news 455ms,
music 461ms, it 1698ms, science 1338ms, files 584ms, social media 1074ms.

Images went 2.1s -> 406-900ms across 12 queries, still 20 results. The root
cause was not google cse images being slow (1.1s): SearXNG waits for the
SLOWEST engine in a category, so quark images at 2.9s set the floor. Cutting
the others removed the ceiling.

Three engines that were not in the list surfaced as unresponsive only under
load and were pruned with the rest: brave.images, startpage images, kickass.

Corrects a wrong claim from the first pass. I had said general search retained
three working sources because !go returned 20 results and !bi returned 10.
Upstream marks both google and bing "inactive: true", so they answer ONLY to
an explicit bang and were never part of the merged view -- which google cse
has been serving alone all along. The pruning therefore removed only engines
already contributing zero, but general search does have a single point of
failure, so status now prints the !go/!bi fallback when a live search returns
nothing.
