Implement auto refresh for issue boards

Problem to solve

When working with multiple browser tabs, some views are not updated as expected. One of them are issue boards. Since this is the entry point for many people when dealing with issues, changes must be reflected on the boards immediately.

Further details

For example when opening an issue from a board (in a new tab). I open the issue and add a comment like "Already specified as part of issue 123718). I also close the issue because it's a duplicate. Then I close the tab and move back to the issue board. The issue is still there and I have to perform a page reload so the changes are reflected.

Proposal

Issue boards should update automatically when changes are made to any of the issues that are displayed or if new issues are created.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Moving between Issue boards and issue pages is fluent. I always have the latest data on each view.
