Backtracking docs with no matching code

[chiefcll]

Under deeplinking - there is a backtracking flag https://rdkcentral.github.io/Lightning-SDK/#/plugins/router/deeplinking?id=backtracking

However, there is no actual code based on that flag. So either something needs adding to the code or the docs need removing.

The property is backtrack and not backtracking, the documentation is incorrect.

You can see some of the relevant code here:

https://github.com/rdkcentral/Lightning-SDK/blob/2b0d10e6d36ae9d855d8f0ac29e8eaccae807ebf/src/Router/index.js#L380-L397

However, this feature doesn't work for a specific use-case, for example:

Routes configuration:

{
  root: 'home',
  routes: [
    {
      path: 'home',
      component: Home,
      widgets: ['Menu'],
    },
    {
      path: 'settings',
      component: Settings,
      widgets: ['Menu'],
    },
  ],
}

However, if we start the app on #settings route (eg.: deeplink) and then we try the Router.back() the _handleAppClose method will be called, when it should navigate to # that acts the same as #home because it is defined as the root path of the app.

Thanks! I'll work on updating the docs.
