New metric : instance age?

[unixfox]

Add a new metric displaying the instance age. This could be used by the user in determining if an instance is trustworthy and stable.

The downside is that it would incentive users choosing only old instances.

The alternative for the user is checking the uptime per year, but the uptime calculated for a year is biased if the instance is newly added.

@unixfox, you asked me to post the instance ages here..

Source code for calculation: https://github.com/ndsvw/SearXNG-Instances-Age

The accuracy is better than what I posted before, because the step is 0.25 years (instead of 0.5 years) now and march 2020 and september 2023 are also part of it now:
