Rather than enforcing a 200 status code, the instance query is deemed a
success if the status code is <400. Various services return 200-399
status codes that don't necessarily indicate an error, but may have to
do with how the instance was configured.

Closes#4
The FARSIDE_NO_ROUTER variable wasn't terribly useful after refactoring
the app to include the update routine internally (rather than available
externally as an elixir script).
Now the only supported environment variable is FARSIDE_TEST, which is
still useful for tests and quick validation of functionality.
The default url redirects to a session validation url first (w/ status
code 307). Disabling cookies by default allows a 200 code to be returned
for successful searches.
Although the current list of queries is only 2 elements ("time" and
"weather"), this allows searches for Whoogle and Searx to be slightly
more random, and potentially avoid any issues with their parent engine
rate limiting them.
The steps taken to commit the changes to services.json were overly complicated.
This simplifies the steps to just `exit 0` if there are no changes to commit.
