Fix searxng container permission errors during setup
A fresh `docker compose up -d` shows the searxng container failing its healthcheck with permission errors at setup (reported in #721 — the service comes up under names like `odysseus_searxng_1` and never goes ready, which then blocks the main odysseus container because of the `depends_on: searxng: condition: service_healthy` gate). Root cause: the official `searxng/searxng:latest` image runs as the non-root `searxng` user but its entrypoint still needs to 1. chown /etc/searxng on first boot so the persisted named volume is owned by the searxng user inside the container, 2. su-exec to drop / re-assert privileges before launching uwsgi, and 3. let our wrapper entrypoint (which seeds settings.yml into the named volume on first boot) write the file through the volume mount. Without explicit `cap_add`, the container has neither CHOWN nor DAC_OVERRIDE nor SETUID/SETGID, so the entrypoint aborts at the first chown / su-exec / redirection with EACCES. The upstream searxng-docker compose file solves this with the standard "drop everything, grant only what's needed" capability pattern. Fix: mirror the upstream cap_drop ALL / cap_add CHOWN, SETGID, SETUID, DAC_OVERRIDE on the searxng service. This grants only the four caps the entrypoint actually needs, matches what searxng-docker ships with, and leaves ports, volumes, env, healthcheck, and the wrapper entrypoint unchanged. Closes #721.
