[wip] admin backend improvements

this supercedes PR #5021 by @maxwell
for now I have kept his changes as is, but I will still implement the proposed suggestions from the original PR.

also I used the opportunity to port the admin pages to bootstrap and polish the user search in the backend a little.

this is not completely finished yet, but I would love to read your feedback!
Does that still center the content?
