Reviewers

Datagrids have historically allowed for custom column selection/ordering
and sorting via HTTP GET query strings. This works great in the case
where you want to display a standard datagrid page with user choices,
but less so when you want to handle providing these options through
other means.

This change introduces new columns and sort arguments to the
DataGrid constructor. These both take lists of strings, and behave the
same way that the query string versions do. They can also take None,
which will force usage of the datagrid defaults.

This not only overrides (and disables) anything in the querystring, but
also prevents both loading from and saving to the user profile.

Unit tests pass.

Tested with some in-progress code using specially-constructed datagrids,
and verified I could define the columns and sort order.
