Previously we used to save the last visited dc and nspace in local storage for reasons. We no longer need to do this. Theres another, improved way we can do this using work done over the past few months, but I didn't want to change too much when this is supposed to be just about namespaces.
Just re-iterating and keeping this info in your head whilst working with namespaces is the biggest fix here.

I'm pretty sure I want to backport this to 1.8.x, so I was planning on making this PR backport easily to 1.8.x and 1.9.x and then later on providing an additional PR just for 1.10.x (1.10.x has the optionalParams functionality which makes this additional or unnecessary)

I think all this stuff could all be done cleaner now we have our Routlets, but I didn't want to change too much unrelated stuff in this PR, so I left that for the future.

…espace instead (#10503) The default namespace, and the tokens default namespace (or its origin namespace) is slightly more complicated than other things we deal with in the UI, there's plenty of info/docs on this that I've added in this PR. Previously: When a namespace was not specified in the URL, we used to default to the default namespace. When you logged in using a token we automatically forward you the namespace URL that your token originates from, so you are then using the namespace for your token by default. You can of course then edit the URL to remove the namespace portion, or perhaps revisit the UI at the root path with you token already set. In these latter cases we would show you information from the default namespace. So if you had no namespace segment/portion in the URL, we would assume default, perform actions against the default namespace and highlight the default namespace in the namespace selector menu. If you wanted to perform actions in your tokens origin namespace you would have to manually select it from the namespace selector menu. This PR: Now, when you have no namespace segment/portion in the URL, we use the token's origin namespace instead (and if you don't have a token, we then use the default namespace like it was previously) Notes/thoughts: I originally thought we were showing an incorrectly selected namespace in the namespace selector, but it also matched up with what we were doing with the API, so it was in fact correct. The issue was more that we weren't selecting the origin namespace of the token for the user when a namespace segment was omitted from the URL. Seeing as we automatically forward you to the tokens origin namespace when you log in, and we were correctly showing the namespace we were acting on when you had no namespace segment in the URL (in the previous case default), I'm not entirely sure how much of an issue this actually was. This characteristic of namespace+token+namespace is a little weird and its easy to miss a subtlety or two so I tried to add some documentation in here for future me/someone else (including some in depth code comment around one of the API endpoints where this is very subtle and very hard to miss). I'm not the greatest at words, so would be great to get some edits there if it doesn't seem clear to folks. The fact that we used to save your previous datacenter and namespace into local storage for reasons also meant the interaction here was slightly more complicated than it needed to be, so whilst we were here we rejigged things slightly to satisfy said reasons still but not use local storage (we try and grab the info from higher up). A lot of the related code here is from before we had our Routlets which I think could probably make all of this a lot less complicated, but I didn't want to do a wholesale replacement in this PR, we can save that for a separate PR on its own at some point.

#10901) This commit fixes 2 problems with our OIDC flow in the UI, the first is straightforwards, the second is relatively more in depth: 1: A typo (1.10.1 only) During #10503 we injected our settings service into the our oidc-provider service, there are some comments in the PR as to the whys and wherefores for this change (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/10503/files#diff-aa2ffda6d0a966ba631c079fa3a5f60a2a1bdc7eed5b3a98ee7b5b682f1cb4c3R28) Fixing the typo so it was no longer looking for an unknown service (repository/settings > settings) fixed this. 2: URL encoding (1.9.x, 1.10.x) TL;DR: /oidc/authorize/provider/with/slashes/code/with/slashes/status/with/slashes should be /oidc/authorize/provider%2Fwith%2Fslashes/code%2Fwith%2Fslashes/status%2Fwith%2Fslashes When we receive our authorization response back from the OIDC 3rd party, we POST the code and status data from that response back to consul via acallback as part of the OIDC flow. From what I remember back when this feature was originally added, the method is a POST request to avoid folks putting secret-like things into API requests/URLs/query params that are more likely to be visible to the human eye, and POSTing is expected behaviour. Additionally, in the UI we identify all external resources using unique resource identifiers. Our OIDC flow uses these resources and their identifiers to perform the OIDC flow using a declarative state machine. If any information in these identifiers uses non-URL-safe characters then these characters require URL encoding and we added a helper a while back to specifically help us to do this once we started using this for things that required URL encoding. The final fix here make sure that we URL encode code and status before using them with one of our unique resource identifiers, just like we do with the majority of other places where we use these identifiers.
