Aborted transition clears state params

[wbkostan]

Issue: When a transition is started due to a $location change (e.g. browser back button), and then that transition is aborted before completing, the query parameters on the 'from' state are lost.

Expected: The transition should abort leaving the user on the 'from' state with all query parameters at their pre-existing values.

Details: It looks like the core problem is between stateService.ts and urlRouter.ts. When stateService handles aborted transitions, it calls urlRouter.update() to re-sync the url to the current state. Since the transition was initiated via a $location change, the path != the stored location. This has the net effect of updating the url to match the stored location; however, only the $url.path() is stored (not the query params).

If user was at /foo?id=1, this has the effect of updating url to /foo which initiates a second transition from /foo?id=1 to /foo, clearing the parameters from the state.

Error happens when you click on the "go-home" link on "b"

Yep, looks like a bug in core

Thanks so much for the quick fix @christopherthielen!

Any chance you'll be publishing new packages soon? (not sure how you decided when to update things)
