Refactor Edges search interfaces: remove $.extend usage and extract reusable URL utility

This change performs a small refactor of the Edges search interface code under /portality/static/js/edges/ to reduce duplicated infrastructure logic. The previous $.extend(true, doaj, {...}) pattern used to attach namespaces has been replaced with direct namespace assignments, as deep merge behaviour was not required. In addition, repeated URL construction logic (deriving scheme and host to build the search URL) has been extracted into a shared utility (doaj.edgeUtil.url.build). This keeps the search files focused on defining search behaviour while moving common infrastructure code into a reusable location. No functional behaviour has been changed; this update only improves code clarity and maintainability.
