HTML formatting to Rails::InfoController#routes

This PR adds formatting and meta-data to the display of the internal routes. Users can now toggle between showing helpers with the `_path` or _`url` suffix. 

There are multiple ways to achieve this, this method uses partials for formatting and meta-data. The partials can be re-used when rendering `routing_error.erb`, though that will need to be in a separate PR.
