    This introduces new machinery for automatically updating parts of the
    review request page in response to updates from the server. It
    specifically targets the new status updates feature, but is built to
    eventually allow most or all of the page to periodically update as
    needed.

    Entries can now tell the page that they want to watch for updates, and
    supply a polling frequency. The lowest frequency wins, and at each poll
    interval, the server will provide metadata and HTML for each requested
    entry being polled. If the data is newer than what the page has, it will
    update the model attributes and view's HTML appropriately. This can
    continue indefinitely or be turned off when needed.

    The entries supporting status updates will watch for updates if any
    status update is in the pending state, and will stop polling once that's
    no longer the case.

    Going forward, we'll be able to start moving to this and away from the
    last-updated checks, handling dynamic updating of conversations and of
    the review request itself in response to changes made in other tabs.
    This is a larger project and does not target 3.0, but the foundation is
    there for the future.

    Unit tests pass.

    Created status updates in pending mode. Saw that the page periodically
    checked for updates. Switched the status update to a different mode and
    saw that, after only a short wait, that the entry updated to reflect the
    new mode.

    Checked that the issue summary table updated appropriately based on issues
    filed on the status update.
