Facts page fix + performance revamp

Removed facts query to let only fact-names. facts query time grow pretty quickly with number of nodes. Drawback: no filter on environment (which seems acceptable)
Add testing about view and column repartition (broken in jinja2 2.9.X / inner loop variables).
Rework facts page (jinja 2.9 compliant)
