Bug 34761: Prevent XSS for searches and saved search filters
</script> tags are interpreted in JSON strings as HTML, which can
lead to XSS attacks.

This patch puts HTML escaped JSON in the value of a hidden HTML element.
The Javascript then takes the value as a string, parses it as JSON,
and is able to use it to save search filters without triggering a
XSS attack.

This patch also adds DataTable's built-in HTML escaping for the query
and limits on the admin UI for the search filters.

Test plan:
0. Apply patch
1. Go to
http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?op=search&searchfield=SavedSearchFilters
2. Enable the system preference
3. Go to http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=e
4. Click "Save search as filter"
5. Checkbox "Show in staff interface?"
6. Type "E-TEST" into box and click 'Save'
7. Go to
http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=e
8. Click "E-TEST" under "Custom search filters"
9. Note that you see search results
10. Go to
http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/admin/search_filters.pl
11. Note that for "E-TEST" you see a "Query" like
{"operators":[],"operands":["e"],"indexes":[]}
12. Note that for "E-TEST" you see a "Limits" like
{"limits":[]}
