Bug 20935: Redesign system preferences interface

This patch proposes a new interface for system preferences. The goal is
to make the interface more readable and to give the user additional
options for finding what they need.

- Restructures the preferences list as a <dl>, with the preference name
  as the <dt> and the description as the <dd>.
- Add a JS filter library (mark.js) to do live filtering of the page and
  add search term highlighting.
- When the user has searched, show links to the sections in which
  results were returned.

To test, apply the patch and go to Administration -> System preferences.

 - Test the functionality of setting various kinds of preferences,
   including multi-selects, textareas, WYSIWYG editors, etc.
 - Test the filter form at the top of the page for narrowing in-page
   results.
   - Test both successful and unsuccessful filters.
 - Perform a system preference search.
   - Test the in-page links to the different sections.
   - Test that in-page filtering works in this case too.
 - View the licenses tab of the "About" page and check that the
   information about mark.js looks correct.
