Add a link that takes to a help page for the search engines

Issue Summary

If the module would show a link for each supported search engine that takes to a help page that gives more details for the authentication process, this would help the user. The link must take to a page that is hosted on the search engine web site, of course.

I don't actually know if every search engine has a page that explains where to find the authentication data required, but it's worth to investigate on this, IMO.

Well, if I record them here, I know at least one place I can come get them :)

As this is purely a docs change, I don't see any reason it needs to wait for 7.x. Moving to 6.x with the intent that I'll probably supply a patch shortly myself (unless someone else jumps in).
