Reduce dependency on Klass instance in KlassDetailView#279

This is a step on the road of removing the ORM from the template render.
We had a filter that did a complex query at template render time. That logic has now been moved to the view. Flat objects are introduced to passed method to the template instead. The helper function is horrible. We should also improve the method context data structure, but that would require more work on the template, so it's out of scope. Similarly, this makes no effort to add types to the helper function which was previously a template filter.
This adds a `klass` argument, and renames a couple of attributes. Other than that, this is just a move. This function is gnarly. Fixing it can come later.
There's no need for us to re-define this on every iteration.

Couple of questions about essentially the same thing. I don't have a strong opinion on which way you go though, more curious to see if reducing the types are useful to you

Could an empty string serve the same falsey/emptiness need as None here, and reduce the number of types?

Same question here, about using empty string instead of None

This removes ORM objects from the template context, and some logic off the models in the process. The moved code is by no means perfect, but at least it's now in a less inconvenient place.
