Fix browser navigation not working between /home, /login, /register, etc

All of the anchors were pointed at `#` which, when clicked, would trigger a hash change in the browser. This change races the change made by the screen handling where the screen handling ends up losing. Because the hash is then tracked as empty rather than `#/login` (for example), the state machine considers future changes as no-ops and doesn't do anything with them.

By using `preventDefault` and `stopPropagation` on the anchor click events, we prevent the browser from automatically going to an empty hash, which then means the screen handling isn't racing the browser, and the hash change state machine doesn't no-op.

After applying that fix, going between pages worked great unless you were going from /login to /home. This is because the MatrixChat state machine was now out of sync (a `view` of `LOGIN` but a `page` of `HomePage` - an invalid state). All we have to do here is ensure the right view is used when navigating to the homepage. 

Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4061

Note: the concerns in 4061 about logging out upon entering the view appear to have been solved. Navigating to the login page doesn't obliterate your session, at least in my testing.
