Get rid of bloated Javascripts for AJAX forms #1646

We no longer need to use customized Javascript to read values from HTML forms and compile them into as a POST parameter manually. Let the browser do the trick and we may just intercept the POST handler to implement AJAX UI updates. The current implementation uses a lot of redundant codes with mixed/missing/mis-typed field names and confusing IDs of input elements, thus fallback for Javascript-disabled environments would not work and the codes are bug-prone.

The expected amount of modification is large enough to rewrite most of interface PHP files under the interface/owner directory.

Applied to addComment() in resources/script/common2.js for demonstration of jQuery-way of AJAX calls (at 818f154). We need further work:

Remove Standardizer in EAF4.js and replace its parts with jQuery and Lodash
Replace HTTPRequest in EAF4.js with jQuery's own AJAX functions
Re-implement PageHolder, PageMaster, FileUploadRequest in EAF4.js as jQuery plugins.
Rewrite all codes that use the above deprecate components
