Browser: Support for custom search engines

Currently the browser supports 3 search engines: Google, Bing and Yahoo neither of which I'm comfortable with using. I'd rather use e.g.https://duckduckgo.com/

Update: Check the pull request comments here - https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser/pull/139 >>

with this commit b5ac970 there is no need to hardcode search engines.

Closing as search engines are supposed to be installed by means of 3d-party packages.

Based on my understanding of above comments in GH, looks like, in theory, browser allows to possible add custom search engines and is not hard coded. Not sure how exactly search provider packages will be made available officially. Also, we have unofficial solution now - Thanks to @coderus who obliged and promptly heeded my request to build a package for few more search engines. Baidu, DuckDuckGo, StartPage search engines for Sailfish Browser: https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/search-engines-sailfish-browser

Usual caveat -> Try it at your own risk.
