An open page takes up a new version by itself after a deploy (#388)

The live stream already came back after a deploy and the lists caught
up, but the page kept running the script it had loaded, in a tab or the
home-screen app, until reloaded by hand. Back after a drop, the page now
asks for / again without the cache; another app.js named there is a new
version. With nothing to lose it reloads, and the item that was open,
carried across in sessionStorage whole since a read one is off the
Unread list, is opened again. While an episode plays, a dialog is open,
a search is set or a field is typed in, it offers a reload in a toast.
