[mod] Shuffle httpx's default ciphers of a SSL context randomly.
From the analyse of @9Ninety [1] we know that DDG (and may be other engines / I have startpage in mind) does some kind of TLS fingerprint to block bots. This patch shuffles the default ciphers from httpx to avoid a cipher profile that is known to httpx (and blocked by DDG).

New fingerprints appear > when web clients or TLS libraries release new versions. So, they have to > live off a blocklist database instead. > ... > It's safe to leave the first three as is but shuffle the remaining ciphers > and you can bypass the TLS fingerprint check. .. _What Is TLS Fingerprint and How to Bypass It: https://www.zenrows.com/blog/what-is-tls-fingerprint#how-to-bypass-tls-fingerprinting Signed-off-by:Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de> Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2246
