[TYPO3-mvc] Link viewhelper and 'back pid'

[Alexander Dick]

Javascript history.back() is a bit problematic - for example if you come from an external site (like google) and then click on "back to overview" or "back to list" you get back to the page where you came from - google. 

Currently I use <f:uri.action pageUid="{backPid}" action="index" /> and assign that backPid manually.
