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
For users running local instances of service alternatives such as
invidious, the alt replacement procedure broke if the scheme of the
original service (almost always https) didn't match the scheme of their
defined local service (likely http).
This adds a small check to see if the alt has a defined scheme, and if
so, removes the original scheme for that result.

Wikipedia -> Wikiless redirects always result in an english language
result, even if the Wikipedia result would've been in a non-english
language. This is due to Wikipedia using language specific subdomains
(i.e. de.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org, etc) whereas Wikiless uses a
"lang" url param.
This has been fixed by inspecting the subdomain of the wikipedia link
and passing that value to Wikiless as the lang param if it's determined
to be a language specific value (currently just looking for a 2-char
subdomain).

If Whoogle is accessed on a non-standard port _and_ proxied,
this port is lost to the application and `element['src']`s are
incorrectly formed (omitting port).
HTTP x-Forwarded-Host will contain this front port number in
a typical Nginx reverse proxy configuration.
The majority of image links and links that are not handle by whoogle are not
opening in new tabs, this allow links that are not related to the application
to open in new tabs.
Due to how instances installed with pip seem to have issues storing
unrelated files in the same directory as sessions, exception handling
during session validation has been expanded to blindly ignore all
exceptions. This portion of the code is more for maintainers of large
public instances with a bunch of users who block cookies anyways, so
having basic app functionality break down as a result shouldn't be the
default.
Country config value should be checked against the valid value when
updating the home page config, not the other way around. This can lead
to a state where a user sets up an invalid country value, but can still
be matched against a correct value that is part of the invalid value
(i.e. "countryUK" is invalid, but would match against the correct value,
"UK")
Also minor refactor of where the session file size validation occurs.
For pip installed instances of Whoogle, there seems to be an issue where
files other than sessions are being stored in the same directory as the
sessions. From a brief investigation, this does not seem to be caused by
Whoogle, since Flask-Session objects are the only files stored in that
directory. It could be an issue with the library that is being used for
sessions, however.
Regardless, the app shouldn't crash when trying to validate and remove
invalid sessions, so a file size limit of 4KB was imposed during
validation. Any file found in the session directory that exceeds this
size limit will be ignored.

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.

Similar issue to #629, but the result page uses a different script for
handling user input, so the fix was not applied appropriately.
It has been fixed for this view now.
Google updated their styling of the result page, which broke some
components of Whoogle's result page styling (namely the result div
backgrounds for dark mode).
The GClasses class has been updated to keep track of what class names
have been updated to, and roll them back to a value that works for
Whoogle. A function was added that loops through new class names and
replaces them with their older counterparts.
The previous implementation of autocomplete/suggestions on the front end
resulted in a situation where input and keydown events were constantly
being added to the search input bar. This was refactored to set up the
events only once and process suggestion navigation and appending
suggestions separately with different functions.
This has been tested on both an Android simulator, as well as an Android
tablet and seems to work as expected.

Tagged builds seem to erroneously fail the on-success check due to the
tests not having finished when the build begins. Since tagged builds are
only ever submitted once the tagged commit is confirmed to pass all
tests, this check will now be skipped.
This seems to be caused by an odd behavior related to Flask sessions and
instances of Whoogle installed via pip. I didn't investigate it too
much, since catching and ignoring the result doesn't impact Whoogle
functionality at all (configuration and session values persist as
normal). Since this doesn't affect non-pip instances, I don't believe it
to be a fault within Whoogle itself.
Fixes#765
A user reported a bug where searches with a leading slash (in this case:
"/e/OS apps" were interpreted as a Google specific link when clicking
the next page of results.
This was due to the behavior that Google's search results exhibit, where
internal links for pages like support.google.com are delivered with
params like "?q=/support" rather than a direct link. This fixes that
scenario by checking the "q" param value against the user's original
query to ensure they don't match before assuming that the result is
intended as a redirect.
Fixes#776
It appears that result links beginning with '/url' were mistakenly
commited with an inefficient filtering process in its place. With the
way the code is structured, this less effective '/url' link filter took
precedence over the previous link filter, and also caused users with the
"open link in new tab" config enabled to no longer have access to that
feature.
Fixes#769
The leading slash was previously removed without noticing it was part of a
string replacement in #734. This caused the href of "View Image" contain a
leading "/" which is wrong.
Pages in the Whoogle footer that by default route to Google pages were
previously being removed, but caused results that also routed to similar
pages to no longer be accessible. This was due to the removal of the
'/url' endpoint that Google uses for each result.
To fix this, the result link is now parsed so that the domain of the
result can be checked against the disallowed G page list. Since results
are delivered in a "/url?q=<domain>" format -- even for pages to
Google's own products -- and the footer links are formatted as
"<product>.google.com", footer links are removed and result links are
parsed correctly.
Fixes#747
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE must be set to 'lax' to allow the user's
previous session to persist when accessing the instance from an external
link. Setting this value to 'strict' causes Whoogle to revalidate a new
session, and fail, resulting in cookies being disabled.
This could be re-evaluated if Whoogle ever switches to client side
configuration instead.
Fixes#749
