[openstreetmap-website] Short links with layers parameter don't work (#762)

[Martin Raifer]

1. have a non-default layer active (for example the notes layer)
2. click share, use the short-link
3. paste the link in another browser (I was using chromium 34)
4. map isn't set to the previously chosen location

Alternatively: the short-link http://osm.org/go/0E6C6h6a--?layers=N should redirect one to somewhere around Amsterdam, but doesn't.

The cause seems to be that short-urls are redirected to something like: `http://www.openstreetmap.org/?layers=N#map=15/52.05429553985596/5.093429088592529` and the non-hash part of this link (`http://www.openstreetmap.org/?layers=N`) is then redirected to a link with a different hash: `http://www.openstreetmap.org/#layers=N`. The browser now can't know what to do with the two different hashes. The solution should be to redirect to an url with the correct hash in the first step: `http://www.openstreetmap.org/?#map=15/52.05429553985596/5.093429088592529&layers=N`
