Description

### Description

In the legacy `Summary` component, when you click to navigate to the source component, the 'next' button in `NavigationButtons` change the text to `Back to summary`, and will take you all the way to the page the `Summary` component was on.

This functionality should also be implemented for `Summary2` ([see NavigationButtonsComponent](https://github.com/Altinn/app-frontend-react/blob/4b5591a747e32cd6f957f78d2546321d135f9c8f/src/layout/NavigationButtons/NavigationButtonsComponent.tsx#L26)).

Alternatively, we should think through the user experience with this approach and make something even better to replace it all.

Research direction

Start with Summary2 and src/layout/NavigationButtons/NavigationButtonsComponent.tsx, then compare the legacy Summary navigation behavior described in the issue. Trace how navigation reaches the source component and define whether the requested button behavior or a revised user experience is intended. Done means the chosen behavior returns users to the Summary2 page and is verified in the relevant frontend flow.
