Description Auto-refresh category blocks, topic listings, etc, if something new comes in.

We already have a change detection system used in some places, e.g. tickets, so we can extend that further.

Ideally we don't do a full refresh, just add something onto the list.

Only do it if you're not in page 2 or further of a pagination.

Have config option(s) to enable/disable. Have a privilege to grant access (e.g. so a webmaster can not give it to a guest, to preserve resources).
Steps to reproduce

Additional information This is a bit tricky to do right, as it could effect themes. Hence the need to be able to easily enable/disable it.

We don't want to get into a situation where we are writing custom JavaScript to extend each content type, duplicating assumptions about the HTML structure for that content type. It has to be automatic from the original templates.
