Search autocomplete: Distinguish between Layers and Maps

[jj0hns0n]

When using the Search Box - the results do not distinguish between Map and Layer items - it would be helpful if there was a text-based or icon-based method to distinguish between them.

Since the /api/base endpoint (which is used by the search bar) does not say which resource it is and cannot in principle because we deactivated the postprocessing, we can use a trick that has been used here https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/geonode/base/templates/base/_resourcebase_snippet.html#L12 to use the datail_url field to get what the resource is.

We developed this in our instance, that is still based on 2.0 (geonode.wfp.org).
Maybe we can move this to core at some point, but not sure how easy is to
implement using the new search engine.
