fix(series): keep loading series books after returning to the page

Read the series id once per kept-alive instance instead of following the
shared route, so coming back no longer resets the list and strands the
scroll observer on a removed sentinel. Re-observe the sentinel whenever
the books section remounts.

Closes #1988
