This PR adds a link API that can be used to closely match what browsers do when navigating to the current path, which is to replace instead of push.

I know #570 is already open but I saw no activity on it in a while. I addressed the comments on it.

This fixes a problem that a lot of people have and will allow dependant libraries to close long standing issues.

Thanks for the PR, @sximba. I definitely want to resolve this in our next release, 4.8. Question: are you also using React Router? Or are you using the history library with something else?

state shouldn't be compared; replicating how an anchor work only depends on the "visible" location properties.

that's great, why this wasn't merged yet?

After thinking about this more, this is definitely a problem I want to solve in the router, not here. A <Link> should be smart enough to make the decision to push or replace w/out adding more API here.

I know it's a little frustrating since remix-run/react-router#6137 was already closed and we sent you over here. But thank you for your patience as we sort this out. Let's follow up in remix-run/react-router#5362
