[ZPD-28647/ZLMC-5336] - Enhancements related to Recently Viewed Products

Shopper Experience

• Previously, the code logic was written in such a way that it passed "productid" to the database to fetch the records for the recently viewed products. 

• However, the implementation has been changed in this release such that recently viewed products are stored at browser local storage and using the same, the recently viewed products are displayed on the Webstore, eliminating the call to the database to get the product details.
