Expand on "features" section of readme 

The "no JS" and "no cookies" portions of the readme warranted further
explanation. Since Whoogle uses JS and server-side cookies, it might be
confusing to a passerby what is actually meant by this. 

Note that both JS and cookies can be blocked and Whoogle will still be
able to perform searches perfectly well. 

Also updated the "theme" feature description

<sup>*If deployed to a remote server, or configured to send requests through a VPN, Tor, proxy, etc.</sup> <sup>*No third party JavaScript. Whoogle can be used with JavaScript disabled, but if enabled, uses JavaScript for things like presenting search suggestions.</sup>
<sup>**No third party cookies. Whoogle uses server side cookies (sessions) to store non-sensitive configuration settings such as theme, language, etc. Just like with JavaScript, cookies can be disabled and not affect Whoogle's search functionality.</sup>
