Title: Force navigation, even if the URL isn't changing.

Make `Backbone.History.navigate('route', {trigger: true})` to call `.loadUrl`, even if the route isn't changing.

This bit me because I had assumed that `{trigger: true}` would cause my routing methods to be called in every scenario, but that was not the case when the URL wasn't actually changing.
