## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

In #28316 we resolved a longstanding misconfiguration where event
listeners being added to the page were not removed. This was due to
incorrect usage of `.bind` creating a new instance of the callback
functions.

By removing the event listener for `ionViewDidLeave`, before the
component has actually unmounted in react, resulted in the registered
destroy callback to not fire:
51c729eafc/packages/react/src/contexts/IonLifeCycleContext.tsx (L208-L216)
and
51c729eafc/packages/react/src/routing/ViewLifeCycleManager.tsx (L21-L32)

This resulted in a scenario that using a `Redirect` could cause the
wrong view to be unmounted (the entering view) and leave the user on an
empty screen.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- `ionViewDidEnter` event listener *is not* removed while the component
is unmounting. The browser will naturally remove the event listener when
the element node is detached from the DOM.
- Users are no longer presented with a white screen after clicking a
route that uses a redirect.
