PEP-8 enforcements in the project are more of an annoyance than
anything. It doesn't really seem to add much value, and adds a lot of
friction to pull requests from developers who aren't familiar with the
style guide. Stylistic enforcements should just be done during PRs if
necessary (or a different style guide should be enforced).
Farside can now redirect quora links to querte instances and imdb links
to libremdb instances. This updates Whoogle to perform link replacements
for both services when site alts are configured.
Allows skipping the Tor startup script if WHOOGLE_TOR_SERVICE is set to
0. This is separate from WHOOGLE_CONFIG_TOR, which only allows
enabling/disabling user configuration of passing searches through
Tor.
Closes#631
Added password authentication for tor control port.
For user configuration of access to tor control port. This file should be
heavily restricted in file system.

* Relativization of search results
* Fix JavaScript error when opening images
* Replace single-letter logo and remove sign-in link
* Add `WHOOGLE_URL_PREFIX` env var to support relative path redirection
The `WHOOGLE_URL_PREFIX` var can now be set to fix internal app
redirects, such as the `/session` redirect performed on the first visit
to the Whoogle home page.

Wikipedia, imgur, and translate alternatives were all still using
hardcoded URLs when replaced with their respective alternative frontend.
This updates them to use farside instead.
Also removes fosshost instance from readme
From @benbusby:
I'm unable to get in touch with fosshost support about the whoogle
instance being unavailable, and am no longer interested in
maintaining the instance due to the lack of communication.
The fosshost team decommissioned the region that Whoogle was hosted in,
but hasn't provided an option to transfer the domain record to the new VM. Until
that is fixed, the instance is inaccessible.
* Integrate Farside into Whoogle
When instances are ratelimited (when a captcha is returned instead of
the user's search results) the user can now hop to a new instance via
Farside, a new backend service that redirects users to working instances
of a particular frontend. In this case, it presents a user with a
Farside link to a new Whoogle (or Searx) instance instead, so that the
user can resume their search.
For the generated Farside->Whoogle link, the generated link includes the
user's current Whoogle configuration settings as URL params, to ensure a
more seamless transition between instances. This doesn't translate to
the Farside->Searx link, but potentially could with some changes.
* Expand conversion of config<->url params
Config settings can now be translated to and from URL params using a
predetermined set of "safe" keys (i.e. config settings that easily
translate to URL params).
* Allow jumping instances via Farside when ratelimited
When instances are ratelimited (when a captcha is returned instead of
the user's search results) the user can now hop to a new instance via
Farside, a new backend service that redirects users to working instances
of a particular frontend. In this case, it presents a user with a
Farside link to a new Whoogle (or Searx) instance instead, so that the
user can resume their search.

Closes#554Closes#559
The default CSP is only helpful for some, and can break instances for
others. Since these aren't always necessary and are occasionally set by
the user's preferred reverse proxy, it is being disabled unless
explicitly enabled by setting `WHOOGLE_CSP`.
Fixes#493
https://whoogle.fossho.st is now an "official" public instance of
Whoogle, since it is the only instance maintained and validated by
the developer(s) of Whoogle (currently only me).
Closes#533
Activating minimal mode should also remove all collapsed sections, if
any are found.
WHOOGLE_MINIMAL now documented in readme and app.json (for heroku).
The "no JS" and "no cookies" portions of the readme warranted further
explanation. Since Whoogle uses JS and server-side cookies, it might be
confusing to a passerby what is actually meant by this.
Note that both JS and cookies can be blocked and Whoogle will still be
able to perform searches perfectly well.
Also updated the "theme" feature description
scribe.rip is a privacy respecting front end for medium.com. This
feature allows medium.com results to be replaced with scribe.rip links,
and works for both regular medium.com domains as well as user specific
subdomains (i.e. user.medium.com).
