Summary:
Ref T10004. After a user logs in, we send them to the "next" URI cookie if there is one, but currently don't always do a very good job of selecting a "next" URI, especially if they tried to do something with a dialog before being asked to log in.
In particular, if a logged-out user clicks an action like "Edit Blocking Tasks" on a Maniphest task, the default behavior is to send them to the standalone page for that dialog after they log in. This can be pretty confusing.
See T2691 and D6416 for earlier efforts here. At that time, we added a mechanism to //manually// override the default behavior, and fixed the most common links. This worked, but I'd like to fix the //default// beahvior so we don't need to remember to `setObjectURI()` correctly all over the place.
ApplicationEditor has also introduced new cases which are more difficult to get right. While we could get them right by using the override and being careful about things, this also motivates fixing the default behavior.
Finally, we have better tools for fixing the default behavior now than we did in 2013.
Instead of using manual overrides, have JS include an "X-Phabricator-Via" header in Ajax requests. This is basically like a referrer header, and will contain the page the user's browser is on.
In essentially every case, this should be a very good place (and often the best place) to send them after login. For all pages currently using `setObjectURI()`, it should produce the same behavior by default.
I'll remove the `setObjectURI()` mechanism in the next diff.
Test Plan: Clicked various workflow actions while logged out, saw "next" get set to a reasonable value, was redirected to a sensible, non-confusing page after login (the page with whatever button I clicked on it).

Summary: Fixes T8036. In addition to making the mock edit work, this tightens quicksand code such that the correct page id is returned even if start() has not been called yet. It also tightens mock view where some functions should respect statics.enabled a bit more.
Test Plan:
clicked edit mock, mock crumb, edit mock, mock crum, edit mock, made edits and they worked! clicked edit mock, mock crumb, edit mock, mock crumb, edit mock, profile icon, hit browser back to edit mock, made edits and they worked!
also observed mock view page not occasionally wigging out from image_onload race not having statics.enabled respect during the above

Summary:
Fixes T7919. This is a pretty generic toggle behavior. Make it quicksand ready by making it install only once and swallow the regular "click" event so the quicksand "click" event doesn't get funky with it.
Also fixes a bug in Quicksand that I discovered developing / testing this feature. We have to update the internal member variable to be better than 0 similarly to how id works. So do that.
Test Plan: went to phriction, toggled menu open, clicked home, clicked phriction and toggled menu again. Went back in history and noted menu was left to toggle state I previously had it. (currently a feature, not a bug)

Summary: Fixes T7913. Collapse the separate board dropdown into the board projects behavior; we always need that anyway and now we can install the listener more granularly.
Test Plan:
- visted project board
- invoked create task, cancelled dialog
- visited project feed
- visited project board
- invoked create task, cancelled dialog (FAILED pre patch...!)

Summary: Ref T7573. Unify code to fetch these counts and do some light formatting since we're going to need to do the same thing for some conpherence-specific ajax in the durable column (See T7708).
Test Plan: loaded up two tabs, one with a durable column on and one without. in the without browser, i read some messages, decrementing my unread count. when i navigated again in the durable column browser, the count updated correctly. with no notifications, commented on a task with another user to get a notification and it showed up properly. visited the task by clicking not the notification and the bubble count decremented correctly

Summary: Ref T7573. I only got this reproducing like 10% of the time in Firefox but I can't reproduce it anymore after this change.
Test Plan:
- Added some logging.
- Saw Firefox handing us nonsense state values (?)
- Read the Firefox documentation?
- Maybe state is expected to be an object? This shouldn't matter?
- I don't really know?

Summary: Ref D12448. Ref T7573. This changes quicksand up a bit so rather than caching just rendered HTML we also cache the initial response from the server. We also fire off a quicksand-redraw event which will let things like the page objects for notifications update correctly while using Quicksand (see D12448).
Test Plan: loaded up /p/btrahan/ Clicked the UI elements to navigate to various profile views up to maniphest. clicked back until back at /p/btrahan/ and it worked. clicked forward until all the way back to maniphest and it worked. clicked back 2x, then clicked new links, then back and it worked

Fixes T7060. Removes some hard-coding.
This assumes that "pages with no durable column" and "pages with no Quicksand" are the same, but that's correct today and I can't come up with a use case where they'd be different offhand.
Test Plan:
- Clicked a revision with column open, got Quicksand navigation.
- Clicked into Conpherence with column open, got real navigation.

Summary:
Ref T2086. Ref T7014. With the persistent column, there is significant value in retaining chrome state through navigation events, because the user may have a lot of state in the chat window (scroll position, text selection, room juggling, partially entered text, etc). We can do this by capturing navigation events and faking them with Javascript.
(This can also improve performance, albeit slightly, and I believe there are better approaches to tackle performance any problems which exist with the chrome in many cases).
At Facebook, this system was "Photostream" in photos and then "Quickling" in general, and the technical cost of the system was //staggering//. I am loathe to pursue it again. However:
- Browsers are less junky now, and we target a smaller set of browsers. A large part of the technical cost of Quickling was the high complexity of emulating nagivation events in IE, where we needed to navigate a hidden iframe to make history entries. All desktop browsers which we might want to use this system on support the History API (although this prototype does not yet implement it).
- Javelin and Phabricator's architecture are much cleaner than Facebook's was. A large part of the technical cost of Quickling was inconsistency, inlined `onclick` handlers, and general lack of coordination and abstraction. We will have //some// of this, but "correctly written" behaviors are mostly immune to it by design, and many of Javelin's architectural decisions were influenced by desire to avoid issues we encountered building this stuff for Facebook.
- Some of the primitives which Quickling required (like loading resources over Ajax) have existed in a stable state in our codebase for a year or more, and adoption of these primitives was trivial and uneventful (vs a huge production at Facebook).
- My hubris is bolstered by recent success with WebSockets and JX.Scrollbar, both of which I would have assessed as infeasibly complex to develop in this project a few years ago.
To these points, the developer cost to prototype Photostream was several weeks; the developer cost to prototype this was a bit less than an hour. It is plausible to me that implementing and maintaining this system really will be hundreds of times less complex than it was at Facebook.
Test Plan:
My plan for this and D11497 is:
- Get them in master.
- Some secret key / relatively-hidden preference activates the column.
- Quicksand activates //only// when the column is open.
- We can use column + quicksand for a long period of time (i.e., over the course of Conpherence v2 development) and hammer out the long tail of issues.
- When it derps up, you just hide the column and you're good to go.
