This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging

This commit adds following features:
- support for tracking click through to user, tag and category
- new filter for search type (header, full page)
This commit also removes "most viewed topic" field from search logs page because we are now tracking multiple click through entities, so topic is not a special entity anymore. This also improves query perf. The query now takes `20.5ms` to runs, as opposed to `655.9ms` previously.
UX: improve styling on full page search page
FEATURE: allow search context in full page search
FEATURE: visited color link for full page search
FIX: broken search help on fulls page search page
FEATURE: allow preload store to return a null
FEATURE: "mobileAction" for the header buttons
All models are now using ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection, which shifts the responsibility for parameter whitelisting for mass-assignments from the model to the controller. attr_accessible has been disabled and removed as this functionality replaces that.
The require_parameters method in the ApplicationController has been removed in favor of strong_parameters' #require method.
It is important to note that there is still some refactoring required to get all parameters to pass through #require and #permit so that we can guarantee that parameter values are scalar. Currently strong_parameters, in most cases, is only being utilized to require parameters and to whitelist the few places that do mass-assignments.
