Fix form.next for newer authentication mechanisms - including two-fac…

…tor.

Propagating 'next' when part of the request query string was working - but FS also supported 'next' as a hidden field in some endpoints
such as /login and /register. form.next wasn't being propagated with 2FA. Also - newer authentication endpoints - /us-signin /wan-signin didn't have the
'next' hidden field.

Also - there were NO tests for form.next.

Fixed all that, added tests, combined all 'next' calculations in a single utility.

closes #853
