This PR adds a
refresh()method to theHelpPanelclass that reloads the currently shown help page (and marks cached history entries as stale). This method is now called as part of theClear Cache & Restart Help Servercommand meaning that is no longer necessary to manually close and re-open help pages after installed packages change.How to test:
Open a help page for package X, install a different version of X, click
Clear Cache & Restart Help Server(this might not even be necessary if the code in helpServer.R notices the change), check that the shown help page updates.
