      In course overview, the timeline is usually/always going to be empty on some sites, making life worse for the user

      If the timeline is empty, then we could show courses tab by default.

      This makes the dashboard far more immediately useful, especially on sites that don't use activities with dates.

      The scope of this issue is limited to:
      1. Remember the users active tab (courses or timeline) and return to it when navigating back to this page
      2. Add an anchor param representing the current tab so that the url can be copy/pasted/bookmarked
      3. System setting for the default tab to display

      These are considered bugs and should be backported.
