chore: merge probe-engine into probe-cli (#201)
This is how I did it:

1. `git clone https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine internal/engine`

2. ```
(cd internal/engine && git describe --tags)
v0.23.0
```

3. `nvim go.mod` (merging `go.mod` with `internal/engine/go.mod`

4. `rm -rf internal/.git internal/engine/go.{mod,sum}`

5. `git add internal/engine`

6. `find . -type f -name \*.go -exec sed -i 's@/ooni/probe-engine@/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/engine@g' {} \;`

7. `go build ./...` (passes)

8. `go test -race ./...` (temporary failure on RiseupVPN)

9. `go mod tidy`

10. this commit message

Once this piece of work is done, we can build a new version of `ooniprobe` that
is using `internal/engine` directly. We need to do more work to ensure all the
other functionality in `probe-engine` (e.g. making mobile packages) are still WAI.

Directory github.com/ooni/probe-engine/experiment

This directory contains the implementation of all the supported experiments, one for each directory. The OONI spec repository contains a description of all the specified experiments.

Note that in the OONI spec repository experiments are called nettests. Originally, they were also called nettests here but that created confusion with nettests in ooni/probe-cli. Therefore, we now use the term experiment to indicate the implementation and the term nettest to indicate the user facing view of such implementation.

Note that some experiments implemented here are not part of the OONI specification. For example, the urlgetter experiment is not in the OONI spec repository. The reason why this happens is that urlgetter is an experiment "library" that other experiments use to implement their functionality.

Likewise, the example experiment is a minimal experiment that does nothing and you could use to bootstrap the implementation of a new experiment. Of course, this experiment is not part of the OONI specification.
