[mod] remove option ui.static_use_hash (cache busting) (#5004)
Cache busting has caused serious problems for users in the past, here are two
examples:
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4419
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4481
And it makes development and deployment significantly more complex because it
binds the client side to the server side:
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4466
In the light of a decoupled development of the WEB clients from the server side:
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4988
is it appropriate to abandon this feature. In fact, it has been ineffective
since #4436 anyway.
However, the benefit has always been questionable, since at best only a few kB
of data are saved (at least in the context of an image_proxy, the effect is below
the detection limit). Ultimately, the client is responsible for caching.
