Navigating back in browser doesn't update view with Ajax facets

Currently navigating back in the browser reloads the whole page, so we can get the correct filters & view again. This however only works on the first backward navigation, since the addEventListener for popstate is added in the click event.

So flow is as follows:
1. user clicks a few filters, url is updated accordingly, and window.addEventListener("popstate", function (e) {} is executed (since it is executed in the click handler).
2. User presses back, and browser reloads. No event listener is attached anymore.
3. User presses back again; view is not updated anymore since page doesn't reload anymore.

I propose we move the event listener outside of the click handler.

    Here's an update to the patch in #4 with the code that adds the event listener wrapped in a once() call so it doesn't get added multiple times (per the suggestion in #9).

    Patch in #12 works nicely here to fix the problems with facet selections and the browser's Back button. Thanks!

    Since this is only for the ajax behavior of the regular blocks, and we are currently only supporting ajax-like behavior through facets 3.x, I'm going to close this as won't fix.

    The current suggestion is to try using views' ajax handling with facets 3.x for this.

    It could be that this is also a bug on core views, but that would need a core issue to fix.
