[BUG] Switching to another person/album shows assets from the previous person/album

[daniele-athome]

The bug

If you go to the asset grid view for a person, try to open an asset and choose another person in the photo, you'll be taken back to the asset grid view for the new person, but the assets will still be from the previous person.

Refreshing the page works around the issue.

I just discovered that the same issue (although I don't know if they are related, just guessing) happens with albums:

1. open an album
2. open an asset
3. add asset to shared album
4. create a shared album to add the asset to
5. the view will switch to the new shared album, but the assets inside are the ones from the previous album

This is apparently a Svelte issue. It happens with every navigation between routes that share the same parameterized URL.

This seems to be serious upstream:

sveltejs/kit#1497
sveltejs/kit#552
sveltejs/kit#5007

I found a very ugly way to workaround the Svelte bug, but I'm not fluent enough on Svelte, so any Svelte expert willing to lend a hand here would be super nice :-)

The key is adding the #key block around the AssetGrid otherwise the grid will be stuck on loading mode (why doesn't it detect the change automatically and rebuilds everything? As I said, I don't know Svelte very well). But I'm sure there is a better way to do this, there's probably something to be modified in AssetGrid too.

Fixed with the workaround in #4089.
