[JollaC] HowTo: Fix missing browser search engines

JollaC seems to be missing the browser search engines. Typing "some search keywords" into the address bar gives you a "Page does not exist". The App Settings for Browser don't let you choose any search engine.

Judging by how https://github.com/CODeRUS/sailfish-browser-searchengines works, the search engines are stored in

/usr/lib/mozembedlite/chrome/embedlite/content/

On the Tablet, the default search engines still work, so I copied them over to my JollaC. Now I can select them in the App settings and after restarting the browser, searching works as expected.

Since the files come with a MPL 2.0 license header, I guess it is safe to upload them to GitHub, so you can "fix" your JollaC too: https://gist.github.com/flesser/ed4d48fe385713eb852350577bd2d7d5
