Feature/contextual search box

[jmcarp]

Set search type to current page type.

When a user browses to the committee search page or a committee detail
page, set the typeahead search type to committees; else set to
candidates. Update tests accordingly.

@noahmanger do we also want it so when you visit the committees/candidates page, /committees the search will be the page type? Or is that not necessary/expected?

[noahmanger]

Oh good question. I don't actually know. We'll have to ask users. In
general I think best to default to candidates.

Based on discussion above, we might want to revert a few lines of this patch. Here's the current behavior after merging--@arowla, @noahmanger, @msecret, let me know if anything should be changed.

• Candidate list page (/candidates): highlight candidates
• Candidate search page (/?search_type=candidates): highlight candidates
• Candidate detail page (/candidate/<candidate_id>): highlight candidates
• Committee list page (/committees): highlight committees
• Committee search page (/?search_type=committees): highlight committees
• Committee detail page (/committee/<committee_id>): highlight committees
• Everything else: highlight candidates

That's what I would expect as a user, but if you have different intuitions, or find otherwise in testing, this is all trivial to change.
