Auto update UI

Is this going to get support for updating the page live?

Hey @rctneil, that's not on my list of priorities for now, but if someone wants to submit a PR for it, I'll be super happy to review!

I made some tests by adding the following to the Record abstract model in SolidQueue. Note that it is important to use the synchronous versions to prevent an infinite loop that will create broadcasting jobs when scheduling a new job for example. I did not test but it may have a limited impact on performance.

    after_create_commit -> { broadcast_refresh_to model_name.plural }
    after_update_commit -> { broadcast_refresh }
    after_destroy_commit -> { broadcast_refresh }

Then, mission_control-jobs can use those broadcasts in the views to trigger a page refresh on change.

  <%= turbo_stream_from job %>

or

  <%= turbo_stream_from :solid_queue_jobs %>

I only tested this on jobs as a proof of concept but it may be possible to monitor queues, job executions, etc.

This is just food for thought, I absolutely do not know if that would be desirable, it may degrade the execution performance or trigger too much page refresh. Another simpler solution would be to implement a regular polling refresh.
