removed use of last_entry_in_db (boolean) and replaced with use of current/first_eid/last_eid in PA_USER_STATE so it persists across reloads/back buttons, and allows full use of ajax data retrieval in the background for the viewer (so fullscreen stays across page loads), and the next/prev buttons are set on the image load, not after they have been pressed "one too many times"
