web: ?bench runs on demo photos in an unsaved library, never the stored one (#3646)

A navigation link with ?bench opened the first photo of the library in
browser storage and committed Exposure edits to it, finishing at 0 instead
of the photo's own value. ?bench now implies ?store=memory and loads the
generated demo photos, so the benchmark cannot edit stored photos.
