Fix open graph definitions in base template

Description

G+ and FB show other images than what we intend to be shown when sharing. The share buttons are located at any confirmation page. According to FB's "Sharing debugger", it is just that the defined image is too small. This bug must have been sitting in our code for quite some time...

Currently it does not seem to be possible to determine whether people were referred by a post on G+ or on FB, since both use open graph. The referral keyword is set to FB, though.

Quite a hassle, because those social networks handle the images differently. The logo now has a larger canvas than needed (to make it look good on FB) and is more than 400px wide (which is what G+ expects).

I also moved the tracking parameters to the specific share links in the corresponding template, which fixes the second issue. I did that in both CMS wikis.
