[SOLR-4431] Developer Curb Appeal: easier URLs for Cloud UI, Admin, etc.

Description

Currently the URL to get the cloud UI is http://172.16.10.236:8983/solr/#/~cloud

The path and anchor portion is very strange: "/solr/#/~cloud"

Ideally it would just be "/cloud"

Or even just "/", and if it's in "cloud mode", take the admin to the right place.

If there's some internal important structural reason for "/solr", "#" and "~cloud" sections, perhaps each would need to be addressed.

Another option would be to possibly put something the default Jetty xml file to handle this as some type of redirect or registered handle.
