yari: MDN Web Docs no longer prompts to install as a custom search engine

It was previously possible to get the prompt to add the MDN Web Docs site as a custom search engine in Firefox. The cause of this seems to be that the Open Search link is no longer present in the <head> elements of the MDN Web Docs pages.

As mentioned before, we are pretty confident that we can get this going again, we are just double checking to make sure the config on the server side is in place to serve the file with the appropriate headers. @binyamin, feel free to change the PR from draft to ready for review in the mean time. Thank you.

Thank you @binyamin, I just want to make sure that we have all the infra pieces in place.
