bug fix on wrong settings

fix for:
- REST API misbehaving on certain queries (which filter on related
  entities)
- user UI bugs, where users could not filter by assigned user, not
  modify passages, and several bugs surrounding a mismatch between
  vanilla apis' entities and coladay's

cause of bug: A wrong base.py settings was introduced somehow. This
commit fetches relevant sections from the old coladay settings files and
copies them into a modified base settings file here.
