Feature request: convert other (large) tables to DataTables- move to server side processing

[exponentcms]

We have several more large tables (help docs) which would greatly benefit from being wrapped with the DataTables widget.

We also need to add some (optional?) server side processing instead of sending the entire table (or at least if the table is too large such as orders and products)

This would also include upgrading to DataTables v1.10.10+ and the new Buttons extension which replaced the TableTools extension back with v1.10.8

A significant change in v1.10.10 is dropping Twitter Bootstrap v2 support (or so it seems). Also the new Buttons extension (replaces TableTools) is a bit more complex to integrate since you must load about a dozen other js/css files...Perhaps we need to go in reverse as far as features offered so we can re-advance:

• remove TablesTools/Buttons type features since we already provide an 'export' command for most table data
• we may have to initially remove yadcf table (column) filtering, we would still have the 'search' filter across the entire table
• we need to transition away from the older commanche responsive extension to the new datatables responsive plugin which operates slightly different
• we will probably need to integrate jqueryui or plain datatables styling into the bootstrap v2 views

[exponentcms]

Another note...not as easy as it sounds since we'd have to do a lot of rendering since most of the tables have controls or buttons which require building them on the fly in javascript.
