Forum Admin Page for Regular Users

Allow regular (non-admin) users access to the Manage Forums page so they can
create and manage their own forums.

Things that were already working:

* The admin forum page was already anticipating regular LoginRequired credential
* Users only see their owned forums, while admins can see and manage ALL forums

Improvements made to the Forum Admin page:

* Change the title color from admin-red to user-blue.
* Add ability to search (filter) and sort the forums.

Other changes:

* Turn the Forum tab bar into a reusable component.
