Based on the way we handle the bib details page, it seems we should
not be displaying OpacNav on the authority details pages on the OPAC.
This patch removes them.

Up until now, the only authority view in the OPAC was a
rather-unfriendly expanded MARC view. This patch adds a user-friendly
view similar to the biblio details view.
Specific features to be aware of:
* Right-to-left text in the MARC21 880 field will show up in the
appropriate location with the appropriate alignment and wrapping
* There is very little CSS styling. Any suggestions for how to make
the display more attractive would be gratefully received.
To test:
1) Do a search for an authority in the OPAC.
2) Choose an authority record to view.
3) Observe that the view is more user-friendly and polished.

Works very nicely now. The old view is still available, but the
user is presented with a nicer non-MARC view first.
The HTML for authority search results was previously generated in
C4::AuthoritiesMarc::BuildSummary, which meant that it couldn't be
translated. This patch moves the HTML generation into the templates
by introducing a new authorities-search-results.inc include file for
both the OPAC and the Intranet which contains a Template::Toolkit BLOCK
for rendering the authority results. Fixes the authority autocomplete
by removing the untranslatable strings, and returning only data from
the database.
To test:
1. Apply patch.
2. Test authority searching in the authority module in the staff client
3. Test authority searching in the authority control plugin in the
cataloguing module (and the plugin for UNIMARC field 210$c, if you
can figure out how)
4. Test authority searching in the OPAC

Tested with MARC21 data.
1) Applies cleanly on current HEAD.
2) Authority search in staff
Patch works wonderfully, only some small notes found while testing that have
not been changed by this patch:
ENH note: Search terms show up nowhere. So if I want to change the sorting, I have to
repeat typing in my search term. Even if the form does not keep the term, it
should be visible somewhere on the screen what I searched for.
ENH note: The pagination on top and at the bottom of the result list are formatted
differently. Maybe some missing CSS?
ENH note: Also the authority type is not shown at all in the result list.
3) Cataloguing and authority plugins
The autocomplete function works nicely.
ENH note: There is only one small enhancement
I could imagine. If I start my search from 100 it will limit the search to
'persons' but the autocomplete will also suggest other authorities. It would
be a bit cleaner, if the autocomplete could limit by the appropriate authority
type too. Very nice feature.
Plugins overall work nicely. Created links include the authority numbers and work
correctly.
4) Authority search in OPAC
Works nicely. Display is consistent, but translatability greatly improved.
ENH note: In staff we use 'Details' in OPAC we use 'View full heading' - I wonder
if maybe 'details' would be better understandable for users?
Note: Code reveals a system preference 'AuthDisplayHierarchy' that is
not available in the system preference editor. I talked to Jared and he
will work on this feature later on. For now it's no regression, as the
preference has never been visible.
