Use LiveView stream for list of items

[pehbehbeh]

Currently, Backpex just assigns the items as a list. It is recommended to use the newish LiveView streams for any kind of collection.

Todos

• Assign items as a stream
• Make resource index table work with a stream
• Properly handle and test events (e.g., item has been created or removed)

Notes

Streams by default for any kind of collection is a good intuition to have. You should use streams any time you don’t want to hold the list of items in memory – which is most times. Streams are also a goto when you want to efficiently update a single list item without refactoring to a layer of LiveComponents for the items.
