Feature #6376: Add "_search" alias for plural REST endpoints

Puppet's current REST interface for performing indirector searches is to 
pluralize the name of the indirection, e.g. "catalogs" to search for a catalog, 
"nodes" to search for a node, etc.  This creates problems when the name of the 
indirection is already plural, e.g. "facts" pluralizes to "factss".  After 
discussion with Nick F., we believe that it would be easier for users to 
comprehend if we append "_search" to the indirection name rather than "s".  For 
example, "catalog_search" to search for a catalog, "node_search" to search for 
a node, and "facts_search" to search for a set of facts.

For backwards compatibility, we'll need to roll this feature out in stages:

1. We need Puppet to accept "*_search" as an alias for "*s".
2. In a future release, modify Puppet and Dashboard so that they do searches 
using "*_search".
3. In a release that's possibly further in the future, modify Puppet so that it 
issues a deprecation warning if someone tries to use the old "*s" functionality
4. Even further in the future, eliminate the old "*s" functionality.

This ticket covers stage 1 only.
