Fixes #4457, fixes #3281, and contributes to #4650. The current PR upgrades datatables, updates references to bootstrap 4 datatables styling, and maintains current behavior.

Due to the dom attribute being deprecated, I did have to adjust some styles, for example placing the info text on the top right of the table, rather than top left below the filter. The checkboxes were also centered in their column.

Unfortunately this does not fix the screenreader problem noted in the issue, but being on the latest datatables version gets us closer. The new version also has a few new features, like automatically detecting numeric and date info and formatting/sorting it correctly, which make it an improvement over the previous version.

There is more work to be done resolving the screenreader problem and adding internationalizations to the datatables text, but it seems best to do that work in a separate PR.
