Description
This PR ensures that if a user clicks on a link to a specific URL but needs to log in first, they will be redirected to the original URL after successfully logging in.
This is achieved by adding the page from the original link to the session storage before the user is redirected to the login page.
Then, after the user has logged in, the user will be redirected to the page in the session storage, or the home page if this is empty. After this it will be removed from session storage again.
I have decided to put this info in the session storage instead of in a query parameter as suggested in the example from the issue. This because using it as a query parameter will not work for the "Login via GEWIS" button since this button redirects the user, losing the query parameters in the URL.
I have not been able to test this with the "Login via GEWIS" button since this logs me in on sudosos.test.gewis.nl instead.
