okfn/bibserver — Issue #101: Dedicated collection view

Partly motivated by ec72eff2efff2a5c2139a3e1cd11f7ed51f975ce where @markmacgillivray does refactoring to have search serve colleciton view. I continue to be really doubtful about longterm viability of using search view straight up for other areas (e.g. presenting collections). Don't get me wrong, we will clearly want to reuse some portion of search / facetview. However, I think we will want collection to have a substantial bit of templating and behaviour that is collection specific.

For example:

* Display of owner
* Display of history / changes to collection
* Options to edit or alter collection

None of these should be part of the generic search results page. What this suggests, in my opinion is that:

* we want to generate some generic widgets (e.g. facetview) which can be reused across pages
* we do not want to reuse search view in total

@markmacgillivray: i'd be interested in your views here ...
