Description of changes

The purpose of this pull request is to use a Spice instead of Fathead to do swift related queries. The spice uses http://api.swiftdoc.org as the data source. If this IA turns out to be not good enough, we could consider using https://github.com/SwiftDocOrg/swiftdoc-parser to get a better result.

Which issues (if any) does this fix?

Fixes duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead#275
Fixes duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead#271

Thank you, @soleo! Checking it out. 🙌

Ideally I should have used text_item template, however in that template, the content is not recognizing the markdown syntax. Is there any way we could patch the {{ellipsis}} to be able to support markdown syntax and convert to html? @jagtalon

The issue is related with #2632 and I used the approach Spice Coderwall used.

• Searching something like "swift foreach" gives a lot of results when I think all we need is SequenceType.forEach: https://v.usetapes.com/2O9DWIgolo
• Searching for "swift Array" yields a lot of "unknown"s when it should just give the Array type:

I'm not sure about this one yet--I'll look into it!

@jagtalon looks like the API is much less mature than I originally thought. I saw some javascript snippets from their site. I might be able to use the same sorting method they used on https://swiftdoc.org to improve the result.

@soleo thank you! Hit me up on slack if you need any help.

@soleo thanks for all the work here! I'm closing this PR as it has gone stale and we decided on a different approach for Apple Swift/Obj-C results
