Adds support for pre-selecting vehicle, version, and board from URL parameters.

Example:

?vehicle=copter&version=stable&board=pixhawk

Details

Frontend-only change
No backend changes required
Safe fallback if parameters are invalid
Does not affect existing behavior

This allows external links to directly open pre-configured build ### ### selections.

Closes #181

This PR still has huge diff. I will suggest you to get to the root cause instead of resubmitting the PR.

Do not close existing PR. The same branch after fixing things in this PR itself.

You need to get rid of your last commit I think.

Please check diff before pushing.
Stop blindly trusting that AI please.

Thanks for contributing. The direction is correct. It just needs a little more polishing. PTAL.

if (typeof rebuildFromBuildId !== 'undefined') {
await initRebuild(rebuildFromBuildId);
} else {
initFromUrlParams();

Can we rename initRebuild to initPreSelect and do both in same function (and get rid of initFromUrlParams altogether). We first check if rebuild_from param is there, if not we check vehicle_id, board_id and version_id are present, and set those properties.

The only difference would be that we would not be setting selected_features[], in second case.

Suggested change
if (params.has('vehicle')) rebuildConfig.vehicleId = params.get('vehicle');
if (params.has('board')) rebuildConfig.boardId = params.get('board');
if (params.has('version')) rebuildConfig.versionId = params.get('version');
if (params.has('vehicle_id')) rebuildConfig.vehicleId = params.get('vehicle');
if (params.has('board_id')) rebuildConfig.boardId = params.get('board');
if (params.has('version_id')) rebuildConfig.versionId = params.get('version');

Let us call it vehicle_id and similar at all places.

if (params.has('version')) rebuildConfig.versionId = params.get('version');

// Set flag to indicate URL parameters were provided
rebuildConfig.fromUrlParams = hasParams;

Can this be avoided? This won't be needed if we have a common error handling as described in the other comment.

Can we have one common error message for both cases? That way we can also avoid multiple if-else cases.

Maybe something like, "Vehicle XXX is no longer listed for building. Redirecting to new build page...".
