Item14407: Page relative Anchor links don't pick up query params, resulting in param reset and page reload.

Discovered by VadimBelman, that link fragments inserted into the PerlDoc text cause a reload of the page and a reset of the ?module= parameter.

The TOC macro inserts the query params into the generated links using the following:

    my @qparams = ();
    foreach my $name ( $query->param ) {
        next if ( $name eq 'keywords' );
        next if ( $name eq 'validation_key' );
        next if ( $name eq 'topic' );
        next if ( $name eq 'text' );
        next if ( $name eq 'refresh' );
        next if ( $name eq 'POSTDATA' );
        push( @qparams, $name => scalar( $query->param($name) ) );
    }
...
        my $target =
          $isSameTopic
          ? Foswiki::make_params(@qparams) . '#'
          . $a->{anchor}

It's possible to manually correct by generating a link of the form [[?%QUERYSTRING%#AnAnchor]], however foswiki should do this automatically for anchor links, inserting the current query params into links generated from [[#SomeAnchor]]
