 23119.15.diff] builds upon 23119.14.diff and converts the "hacked up"
 table into a proper `WP_List_Table`, which gives it several features:

 * search
 * items per page + paging
 * cleaner code to maintain / easier extendability

 Here's how it looks now. Note that I chose that location for the search
 bar because I thought it would be a better spot for it vs. above the
 table. Up for debate of course.

 Implementation notes:

 I pretty much went with an approach of the least modified code possible to
 integrate the `WP_List_Table`. There's definitely more work to be done:

 * I suggest we split the two tabs into 2 separate files, this will allow
 us to cut down on the amount of logic/if statements to display the
 different UI elements and will make updates easier
 * There's cleanup to be done with some (now) old code, assuming core
 adopts this new UI.

 Thoughts so far?
