better ticket view navigation: tickets are now either global in scope (for admins) or stay as a nested resource for a particular user (for normal users and when you visit the tickets list of a particular user).

+# These "auto" forms of the normal ticket path route helpers allow us to do two things automatically:
+#
+# (1) include the user in the path if appropriate.
+# (2) retain the sort params, if appropriate.
+#
+# Tickets views with a user_id are limited to that user. For admins, they don't need a user_id for any ticket action.
+#
+# This is available both to the views and the tickets_controller.
