FIX: Avoid leaking TopicTrackingState listeners due to sidebar (#18131)

In eb12daa7f8793092bf4fe0c180a04fa3ea2d13e1 when adding community
section support for anonymous users, we changed the `sectionLinks`
property into a getter method. This meant that if the getter method was
called again after the community section has been rendered, we would end
up reintializing the section links classes. As part of the
initialisation, some section links would setup a TopicTrackingState
onStateChange listener. However, the listener is only removed when the
entire community section is removed which resulted in us leaking the
onStateChange listeners.

This commit reverts the `sectionLinks` from being defined as a getter
method into a property which is only set once when the community section
is being constructor. Also, we changed it such that the community
section will register the listener instead of each section link since it
makes cleaning up much easier to reason about.

No tests have been added for this commit because the original bug is
not possible after this change and we already have an existing tests
ensuring that TopicTrackingState change listeners are cleaned up when
the community section is destroyed.
