ui-repolist: return HTTP 404 if no repositories found

Return HTTP status code 404 Not found when querying a non-existent
repository, which signals to search engines that a repository no
longer exists. Further, some webservers such as nginx permit
logging requests to different files depending on the HTTP code.
