Adds an optional plugin that shows a generated summary above the search
results, similar to the answer boxes in Brave and Google. The text is
produced by an LLM server the administrator runs, reached over the
OpenAI chat completions API, so queries never leave the operator's own
network.
The summary is grounded on the top search results rather than the
model's training data. It is generated asynchronously: post_search adds
an empty placeholder and returns, and the browser fills it from the
/ai_summary endpoint, which streams the answer as NDJSON. No summary is
generated beyond page one, outside the general category, for non-HTML
formats, or when an engine already answered with an infobox or an
instant answer.
The client side follows the existing plugin pattern: one file in
client/simple/src/js/plugin/, one conditional load in router.ts, one
LESS import. No build configuration changes and no new dependencies.
The plugin is not activated by default. Instance defaults live in an
ai_summary: section; the server, model, API key and grounding are user
preferences, and all four can be locked.

* [mod] client/simple: client plugins
Defines a new interface for client side *"plugins"* that coexist with server
side plugin system. Each plugin (e.g., `InfiniteScroll`) extends the base
`ts Plugin`. Client side plugins are independent and lazy‑loaded via `router.ts`
when their `load()` conditions are met. On each navigation request, all
applicable plugins are instanced.
Since these are client side plugins, we can only invoke them once DOM is fully
loaded. E.g. `Calculator` will not render a new `answer` block until fully
loaded and executed.
For some plugins, we might want to handle its availability in `settings.yml`
and toggle in UI, like we do for server side plugins. In that case, we extend
`py Plugin` instancing only the information and then checking client side if
[`settings.plugins`](https://github.com/inetol/searxng/blob/1ad832b1dc33f3f388da361ff2459b05dc86a164/client/simple/src/js/toolkit.ts#L134)
array has the plugin id.
