Bug fixes and improvements

• #766 Update InvalidSolrID rescuing to provide a regular HTTP 404 page instead of rendering the search page with a flash message.
• #777 Merge the code for rendering facets at catalog#facetwith the code that renders facets on a search results page. This fixes also fixes bug where facets configured with single: true would not be rendered correctly on catalog#facet.
• #776 Updates Blacklight-provided URL helpers (e.g.link_to_query) to use #search_action_url and #search_action_path to ensure they can be properly used outside of a Blacklight::Catalog instance, or within another Rails engine.

This also adds #search_action_path, an equivalent to #search_action_url, producing a relative path instead of an absolute URL

• #774 When rendering the Blacklight thumbnail partial, allow the renderer to disable linking the thumbnail to the search result (the default)
