Title: Greatly improve speed of fetching contacts.

We were selecting every column in a fairly wide table before. This code fetches
only those columns necessary to populate the data requested by the Javascript
code. In experiments with coworkers' and my own contact lists, the time to fetch
~1440 contacts has gone from over 40 seconds to less than 10 seconds. I have not
tested with fewer than 1400 contacts, but I expect at least a small improvement.
