Update search engine defaults for AT / ES / MX

[rebron]

Description

Update search engine defaults for:

• Austria (AT)
• Spain (ES)
• Mexico (MX)

Brave should be at the top of drop down list at brave://settings/search

Related: #18331

Test plan

Region set to AT / ES / MX

1. Fresh profile
2. Search onboarding should NOT be shown
3. Default search engine SHOULD be Brave
4. Visit brave://settings/searchEngines
5. Brave SHOULD be first in the Default search engines list

Region set to anything else (excluding CA / DE / FR / GB / US)

1. Fresh profile
2. Search onboarding SHOULD be shown
3. Default will NOT be Brave Search
4. Visit brave://settings/searchEngines
5. Brave SHOULD be first in the Default search engines list - unless you're in a region where Yandex is default (AM, AZ, BY, KG, KZ, MD, RU, TJ, TM, UZ). In that case it will be second.

The above will require 1.42.80 or higher for 1.42.x verification 👍

@brave/qa-team as discussed with @rebron, we don't need to run through each locale like I did via brave/brave-core#14177 (comment) on Nightly before uplifted. On each platform, we can check the following:

• single check on either AT, ES or MX
• single check on either CA, DE, FR, GB or US
• single check of a locale that isn't listed above to ensure that Brave Search isn't default and the search screen is still visible via brave://welcome during onboarding.

Please coordinate so we're not doing the same locales twice when verifying via 1.42.x.
