Preserve the url hash when changing locales.

To implement this, I had to write a custom javascript handler to handle
switching locales. Previously, this was handled for us via Rails's
unobtrusive javascript, but I could not find any way to add in
additional url parameters to the PATCH request the unobtrusive
javascript was generating for us. There's actually an open PR from 2013
to implement support for this here: rails/jquery-ujs#307.

I also rewrote the set_locale_spec to enable javascript and be more like
what I believe a feature spec should be. I actually don't understand how
the spec was even passing before, I would expect it to fail because it
was sending a GET request, and we don't have a handler for GET request
to update the locale. Maybe rspec/capybara/poltergiest has baked in
support for unobtrusive javascript so that the right thing will happen
even if you don't have javascript enabled?? That sounds crazy, but it's
the only thing I can think of. Regardless of how this was working
before, I do believe that the new specs are better.

This fixes thewca#2962.
