SearX currently doesn't start up when run with Python 3 as it tries to parse the
settings.yml file with ASCII codecs.
There are similar problems with engines_languages.json and currencies.json
Python 3 requires that files with Unicode characters be read with a 'b' flag.
This also works with Python 2 and hence can be integrated into the main source
code.
Tested with the latest Python 3.6.4rc1 on Debian unstable.

The exact order is
* first from SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH,
* if not found then from searx code base,
* if not found then from /etc/searx/settings.yml
* if not found an exception stops searx loading
* parsing XML-Files which contain target, exclusions and rules
* convert regex if required (is a little hack, probably does not work
for all rules)
* check if target rule apply for http url, and use the rules to rewrite
it
* add pice of code, to check if domain name has not changed during
rewrite (should be rewritten, using publicsuffix instead of little hack)
