Add db= to same-CGI self-links in hgTrackUi and hgc. refs #37840

Extends #37840 to same-CGI links that omitted db= and relied on the cart db,
which still broke as shared, bookmarked, or search-indexed URLs. In hgTrackUi
adds db to the superTrack member list, container-configure, description,
sibling-track, duplicate/unduplicate, and quickLift-remove links. In hgc adds
the current assembly's db to the shared anchor helpers (hgcAnchorSomewhereExt,
hgcAnchorPosition, hgcAnchorWindow, hgcAnchorTranslatedChain,
hgcAnchorPseudoGene), covering all their callers, plus the getDna, htcExtSeq,
refGene, stsMap, cutter, cgapSage, mgc, peakClusters, regMotif, and pubs links.
The foreign-assembly variant hgcAnchorSomewhereDb and the db2=/qlSourceDb=
params are left untouched.
