In the past, the ad plugin relied on two side-effects to achieve this behaviour:
1. Components being fully destroyed/rendered when navigating between pages. This stopped working when Discourse core moved to the more efficient 'loading slider' UI
2. The `listLoading` argument. This was an implementation detail of the old discovery routing infrastructure. Core recently overhauled this and removed the `listLoading` argument, because loading is now handled properly by the Ember router.
Instead of these two properties, we can use the `currentRoute` property of Ember's router service to trigger changes when navigating between pages. A common `{{#each` trick is used to fully destroy/re-render components even if the ad network is unchanged.
We expose the ad-slot logic to determine which ads are potentially available for each slot and don't render the connector when there are none. Leaking the component logic is not ideal, but I don't see a better solution given the
current design.
