Description:
The Drop Down Check List control makes a copy of every <select> form control, prefixed by 'mem-form'.  All these extra control values are submitted via the query-string, but are not used.

How to repeat:
Use new-style form for e.g. Events.  Submit filter.  Copy+paste URL into IRC.  Get URL split because it's crazy long.

Suggested fix:
Strip "mem-form" query params and redirect to shorter sanitized url.

message:
  EM-4100: redirect after "make defaults", stripping the token to prevent subsequent page refreshes from re-setting defaults, showing message.
  EM-4101: redirect query string without noise "mem-form-*" params, keeping URLs short and clean.

Verified fixed in Monitor build 2.2.0.1633.

URLs are now like:

http://localhost:38080/Events.action?currentSeverity=CLOSED&noDefaults=true&paging_pageSiz...

and don't have the "mem-form-" prefix anymore.
