Keep latest issue filter active during session

Description

If I select a filter on the issues list (I.E. showing all issues assigned to me) and I select an issue, after going back to the issues list the filter is gone. I have to set the filter everytime I visit the list.

Proposal

Auto apply the last entry in 'Recent searches' during a browser session as long as the search is manually removed. Might be optionally with a user setting.

Overview

What is it? A usability enhancement when busy squashing issues.

What is the underlying (business) problem? Reselecting your last recent searches everytime slows down workflow.

Use cases

If a developer is busy fixing issues assigned to him/ her the developer has to filter all assigned issues. When fixing for instance 20 issues, reselecting the filter every time the developer visits the issues list is cumbersome.

Feature checklist

Make sure these are completed before closing the issue, with a link to the relevant commit.
