Description

We should make it possible to navigate back to the user profile modal with the "back" button, rather than skipping it.

Note that this will require including which tab of the user profile is in use in the URL scheme. You can start with what makes sense from the current code, and post a proposal in the linked #design thread.

CZO thread: #design > clicks in channel and group lists in modals

Direção de pesquisa
Investigate the current user profile modal implementation in the Zulip web app, focusing on how navigation and URL routing work (likely hash based). Review the design thread linked in the issue (CZO thread) for context on the desired behavior. Examine files in web/src/ related to modals and user profiles, such as user profile modal.js or similar. Propose a URL scheme that includes the profile tab state, and discuss it in the design thread before implementing.
