admin panel should inherit from moderator panel

[btbonval]

Right now the moderator panel is pretty slick, while the admin panel is weak sauce.

It'd be great if the admin panel inherited all the moderator panel functionality so it was at least as slick.

The moderator interface will still be needed as it represents a reduced privilege set.

The right way to do this is to pull the admin definitions out of moderator/admin.py and place them into the respective <collection>/admin.py files with expanded privileges.

I initially thought inheriting from moderator would be an easy way to keep these definitions centralized, but moderator/admin.py already imports from <collection>/admin.py files. Circular dependencies are circular. Best to put it in the right spot from the start.

It seems like the admin interface is blocking capabilities that should exist, making this a bug rather than an enhancement.
