Tracker: Return user to page they were on while clicking on login after successful authentication

Knowledge expectations

Students should know basics of Django.

Problem

Imagine you browse to particular ticket you want to edit and then realize you're not logged in. You press the log in button, fill your credentials and you're redirected back to mainpage, so you need to get to the ticket somehow again. It'll be easier for most users if Tracker redirects users to their previous page after logging in.

Expected outcome

You should propose a patch to Wikimedia Gerrit, see tutorial.

Student is expected to claim the task on Wikimedia Phabricator when claiming this task on the GCI site.
