-----------------------------------

I worked on this ticket to the best of my ability.  I am not particularly UI oriented and thought this would be an easy change after digging through the code, but it ended up misbehaving when I was testing.  

I thought simply changing the LeaveProcessGroup URL from
`nifi/parentPG` to `nifi/parentPG/ProcessGroup/previousPG`
while updating the routing method to use the FlowActions.navigateWithoutTransform would be sufficient.

While testing this I had some log messages in the `canvas.component.ts` file under the "handle single component selection" and this handler was always called twice.  Once with `skipTransform` set to false, and then again where it was set to true resulting in it being centered.

This double call was not noticed when I put logging statements in the "handle bulk component selection" handler.

I ended up overriding the dispatch in `canvas.component.ts`, but this ultimately did not feel like the correct implementation.

Anyone with some UI insight would be appreciated on the linked PR

> When navigating to the parent process group, graph navigates to the most recent view you were using of the parent process group.  Sometimes this most recent view doesn't display the reference process group that you navigated from.  
> An easy change would be to edit the URL when clicking the Parent Process Group button from this:
> [https://nifihost/nifi/process-groups/[parent-group-UUID]]
> to this:
> [https://nifihost/nifi/process-groups/[parent-group-UUID]]/ProcessGroup/[reference-group-UUID]
> Then the user can just click the Zoom Actual icon in the Navigate panel to be taken directly to the reference group.
