rPdadd9a9dd98d: Let feed panels render something meaningful-ish

Summary

Ref T4986. We need to introduce alternate views to make this more pleasant, but let rendering move to engines so it can be shared between panels and controllers.

I also moved some of the pagination logic in to avoid duplicating that.

So far, only Feed works. I'm going to do these gradually since we have ~40-50 of them.

Test Plan

Used global search to check for collateral damage.
Used not-global search too.
Used normal feed.

127–137	What were you thinking for customizing display? A 3rd parameter to this method or maybe some configuration that gets done to the engine object itself? (something like "setRenderMode(PhabricatorSearchEngine::TYPE_PANEL))") ...the answer is maybe in my diff queue.

535	i thought we had some PHP_INT_MAX thing, though maybe that's from another company I used to work at?

What were you thinking for customizing display?

I'm not 100% sure exactly what it will look like, but I think it will mostly go on the Engine, and we'll have some methods like:

getAvailableStyles[ForList|ForPanel]?()
getStyle()
setStyle()
getNiceStyleMapForHumansToRead()

So, yeah, probably $this->getStyle() on the Engine. I'm going to convert all the Engines first though, so they work properly and are merely ugly to varying degrees.

src/applications/search/engine/PhabricatorApplicationSearchEngine.php
535	It's a constant, but internally we do stuff like: 'LIMIT %d', $limit + 1 ..to see if there's another page or not. If we've set `$limit` to PHP_INT_MAX, that will overflow, which may or may not be OK. Basically, this is safe and works everywhere despite being very dumb.

I think most things in the beginning will only have one render view. Things like feed, ponder, phame, notifications -> feed display. I can't think of 'multiple feed displays' but it may come up.

ObjLists I think I should spend some time building "Normal" and "Compact" views perhaps.

I thought it would be nice to have for a "text" mode at least.

...it would also maybe be advantageous to allow people to extend / configure how these things are rendered? I see requests to add certain data to places that strikes me as dubious in the common case (adding it would help very few and just be clutter for most) but not sure how many there really are to support such extensibility.
