The URLs that are generated when a user selects categories in the Collection Categories Filter should change.

Details containing the motivation for that are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Giy5cFJ-sXTOXjCsUULdMVWmaaMTdMmN6LeRD_wPjA/edit?disco=AAAAK7BCZ8Y

Currently the URL parameters are generated as:
?categoryId_<collectionFilterFragmentEntryLinkId>=<assetCategoryId>

Example:
?categoryId_40910=39647&categoryId_40910=39641&categoryId_40913=39663&categoryId_40913=39751&categoryId_40913=39748

There are two improvements to be made:

1) Have one param value for each filter and merge several categories in one filter into one value (to then apply ORs in one case and ANDs in another:

e.g: ?categories_sports=123__or__234&categories_teams=345__or__456&categories_teams2=345__or__789

2) Using more friendly category identifiers instead of ids. For this we can use the category's External Reference Code
