Markus Heiser 5720844fcd [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::

.. _settings categories_as_tabs:
=======================
``categories_as_tabs:``
=======================
A list of the categories that are displayed as tabs in the user interface.
Categories not listed here can still be searched with the :ref:`search-syntax`.

Engines are added to ``categories:`` (compare :ref:`engine categories`), the
categories listed in ``categories_as_tabs`` are shown as tabs in the UI. If
there are no active engines in a category, the tab is not displayed (e.g. if a
user disables all engines in a category).
On the preferences page (``/preferences``) -- under *engines* -- there is an
additional tab, called *other*. In this tab are all engines listed that are not
in one of the UI tabs (not included in ``categories_as_tabs``).
