Permissions link from modules page should trigger filtering [#1192024]

From the modules page (admin/modules) you are able to click a Permissions link for any applicable module. If that module exists amongst your modules as filtered by Filter Perms, then behavior will be normal and the page will scroll to that module's anchor. It would seem better, though, if Filter Perms instead filtered for that module and selected all roles.

As a side note, this would solve an issue I'm seeing where the anchor for a module is at the top of the page but covered up by a scrolled table header.

Tied in with this is the link from the Roles page (admin/people/permissions/roles) where it would be nice to filter by just that role and all modules when the permissions link is clicked for a role.

An example link for this is admin/people/permissions/1 for the anonymous role and an example link for the original issue would be something like admin/people/permissions#module-block, though, I believe when I did this in 6 I had reason to rewrite the links that had anchor tags to something like admin/people/permissions/module-block instead.

Functionality added here: http://drupalcode.org/project/filter_perms.git/blobdiff/29e4512be9491b5b...

As I remembered, anchor info from the url can't be parsed server side so I needed to rewrite the permissions links on the modules page to get this working.
