fix(docker): let searxng boot when the settings migration fails

The migration runs under `set -eu`, so any settings file it cannot parse or rewrite took the container down instead of merely going unmigrated. A symlinked /etc/searxng/settings.yml is enough: the migration refuses a non-regular file and searxng, which reads through the symlink perfectly well, never got to start. Guard the call with `|| true` in all three Compose variants. The failure still prints its reason on stderr, and searxng is left to report anything genuinely wrong with the file.
fix(docker): chmod the settings temp file before chowning it
