Redirect user to previously visited page after login

When a user logs in from any page, it expectes to be back on the same
page after the successful login. Gerrit's `/login` endpoint already
supports redirecting to the previously visited page, but that
information was not forwarded from the frontend.

To update the `href` in the login URL, we need to subscribe for
`nav-report` events. But as the event is emitted, before
`window.location` is updated, we also need to delay reading of the
current browser URL, until all other events are processed. This way, by
using `setTimeout`, we can reliably update the login link `href`.

But: Issue 325838103
