Proposal: replace the select-field-based pagination in index pages with a link list #651

For navigating through the paginated threads on the overview pages we have two different systems. As first there is a select field in the sub-navigation-block below the page header. Additionally there is a pagination link list on the bottom of the main block.

All further pages with the possibility of a pagination (in example the entry list of a user, the user list, the uploads list and a few other pages in the admin menu) providing only pagination link lists, even the positions of the link lists are a bit inconsistent over these pages. The only occurence of the select-field is in the index page(s).

My proposal is to remove the select field and to replace it with a pagination link list on top of the threads. Additionally the pagination link list on all of the other pages with a pagination should be placed consistent on top of the main content and on its bottom, below the main content.

Status update: With #652 all pagination lists on all pages, that can have those lists, work the same way. On all those pages one will find the paginations above and below the page content with the next release. Until now there are pages with a pagination below the content, pages with the pagination above the content and some with paginations above and below the content. This inconsistency will be gone with the next release with the exception of the overview pages this issue is about.

Making the overview pages in the future behaving the same way as the other pages with a pagination (following a decision to that effect) would be a simple and small change.
