harmonize metadata returned by storyList/Single and topicStoryList #84

It is confusing that these return different data. For instance, right now I have a task that needs both the geo-tags and the facebook share counts. I need to query storyList for the geo-tags and then also query topicStoryList with a stories_id to get the FB counts for each story. Please include the same metadata in both calls, or at least make the items intopicStoryList include all the metadata in storyList.

This would probably add a slight slowdown, but would be worth it to reduce front-end complexity (like #190).
