This change ensures that, in turn, we're able to "remote" all the traffic generated by the `geolocate` package, rather than missing some bits of it that were still using the standard library and caused _some_ geolocations to geolocate as the local host rather than as the remote host.
Extracted from https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/969, where we tested this functionality.
Closes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1383 (which was long overdue).
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2340, because it allows us to make progress with that.
A bunch of packages (including oohelperd) just need the ability to
use MaxMind-like databases. They don't need the additional functionality
implemented by the geolocate package. Such a package, in fact, is
mostly (if not only) needed by the engine package.
Therefore, move code to query MaxMind-like databases to a separate
package, and avoid depending on geolocate in all the packages for
which it's sufficient to use geoipx.

These two small packages could easily be merged into the model
package, since they're clearly model-like packages.

Cloudflare hosted services provide a certain service of `/cdn-cgi/trace` with their base url (for example, `www.cloudflare.com` or `www.nginx.com`), which can be used to obtain `ip` in the probe's `geolocate` feature.
The same feature was added in this pr, hence, increasing the number of `baseURL`s in `geolocate`.
