MDL-52727 mod_data: Improve output of the form fields values

This issue mostly affects the search form fields. Submitted values for
these fields are typically obtained via optional_param() with
PARAM_NOTAGS specified as the parameter type - see parse_search_field()
methods. Such values themselves are not safe enough to be printed back
directly into the HTML as they might contain malicious code.

While working on the patch, some other places with weak protection were
detected and fixed.

In case of the itemid parameters, explicit clean_param() is added to
make sure we cast the value as an integer. That should make the s()
unnecessary but it was added anyway as an extra protection (just in case
the code flow changes or the parts of the code are re-used elsewhere).
