Subject: [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability

We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

+Administrators might find themselves wanting to integrate locally running search
+engines.  The following ones are supported for now:
+
+* `Elasticsearch`_
+* `Meilisearch`_
+* `Solr`_
+
+Each search engine is powerful, capable of full-text search.  All of the engines
+above are added to ``settings.yml`` just commented out, as you have to
+``base_url`` for all them.
+
+Please note that if you are not using HTTPS to access these engines, you have to
+enable HTTP requests by setting ``enable_http`` to ``True``.
+
+Furthermore, if you do not want to expose these engines on a public instance,
+you can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described
+in section :ref:`private engines`.
