Bust the cache for /whats-new
What does this MR do?
Using a query param to bust the cache on requests to /whats-new. While I haven't personally experienced a cacheing issue, it has been reported that the count and notification bubble are correct, though when loading the "What's New" module, the content is stale.
Initially I combed over the cache headers, thinking maybe something was missed there, but the headers seem correct. And given I can't reproduce the experience, this issue is difficult to solve.
I chose this simple approach to see if it solves the issue, though I'm open to other solutions.
