Use Benchpress (#5901)

* Use Benchpress

* Use Benchpress.compileParse

* Error for template load failure

* Use benchpressjs package

* Compile templates on demand

* Fix user settings page

* Fix admin search to exclude `.jst` files

* Fix 500-embed

So ajaxify can still show an error if the server goes down
