Add a BroadcastChannel-based mechanism for JS to observe when the user logs into Hypothesis in another tab. This will be used to streamline the process where the user signs up from an auth popup window opened by the Hypothesis client. It works as follows: - In every HTML page, the backend renders a `<meta name="userid" ...>` tag if the user is logged in. - On the frontend, the header script that is included on every page reads this and sends out a notification of the current status via a `BroadcastChannel` - Interested observers in other tabs can listen for events on this channel. In this proof of concept, the login form auto-refreshes via `location.reload()` when this happens.
