Implemented searching and sorting in Information dashboard

[cjchirag7]

Description

The following changes have been made in information dashboard :

• Implemented searching
• Implemented sorting
• Improved the view of the table and made it responsive
• Removed unnecessary code like sanitize(), validateForm() functions which are not needed in information dashboard
• Included the 'Info' option in navbar in the landing.html page (which was missing earlier)

Motivation and Context

• Fixes Information Dashboard (Data[base] Summaries) Distro#95
• Also, earlier the dashboard table was occupying only a small part of the screen, as the footer had an absolute position. This has been fixed now.

How Has This Been Tested?

• I have tested these features in both Chrome and Firefox, in desktop as well as mobile view.

@cjchirag7 I had previously not included info button on home screen as a security measure, since only users who had access to view the slides should only have access to the information dashboard.
Also, if you want to include info button on home page, please check user authentication before displaying content.

As the 'slides' option is available to everyone in the navbar of landing page, we may also allow the 'Info' option there, as it is just displaying the information (with no post / edit / delete operations ).
And I guess, we are also checking the user login here at line 18 of info.html by calling auth_check() , similar to the slides page (If I am wrong, please correct me)

@cjchirag7 I am not sure that auth_check() is called, anyways you could include it if it isn't called 🙂
