On the "preview" links we surface on the document summary screen,
we want to append a `?cachebust={timestamp}` parameter, where
`timestamp` is the current time in seconds (unix epoch time)
I have auto-appended a cachebust URL query parameter to:
- Normal document preview
- Translation preview
We get some confusing support tickets where multiple publishers
coalescee around the same document. A lot of the time, the
underlying reason for the support ticket is caching. For example,
two publishers previewing a document and seeing different things,
because one of them had an older version cached already.
Adding a cachebust string will force a fresh preview everytime
the publisher clicks on the preview link, which should minimise the
number of support tickets coming our way.
