 Piggybacking off of The UI/UX settings revamp, the Edit Sites pages needs
 a reskin as well.

 Most important is the Settings page, which is a massive list of
 options.php and really most of this should never be edited by anyone, not
 even a network admin.

 This proposal (which was suggested by Nacin) would be to change this to be
 not a massive dumping ground but a list of items that only the
 network/super admin can and should change. Anything that is editable by
 the site-admin (such as Blogname and Blogdescription) would not be
 displayed.

 Items that should be shown:

 * Fileupload Realpath
 * Fileupload Url
 * Permalink Structure (nb: see #12002 - this is the only way around that
 at this time)
 * Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders (questionable - Nacin says no)

 But really other than those, there's no need to have that whole "Settings"
 page and it could be folded into the main "Info" tab, making life much
 smaller and easier for everyone.
