Deal with upstream's search consolidation

In !1577 (merged) (e467cc85) we forced the legacy BundledSearchEnginesStorage.

However, upstream is consolidating desktop and mobile search, to consume a single configuration through remote settings.

Meta: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1818323

So, we have at least these open questions:

  • When is upstream going to drop the legacy configuration? Are we going to be proactive and adapt or to wait them to drop the legacy thing?
  • Do we need to add the search component to the allowed ones in A-S?
    • If we need to patch something in that component, we will have to version our fork of A-S in this repository (sigh!)
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
