Improvements to requests user experience

Several improvements to the requests user experience, to make these easier to understand, faster, and more streamlined.

The Oblique app now live updates, so that when one user makes a change, for example approving a request, it immediately updates for other users, without needing to refresh the page.

When requests are approved, they are automatically merged.

When a user creates a request for a new team, they are automatically added as a team owner and team member as part of the request. If this is not what is desired, they can remove themselves prior to submitting the request.

Users list view has been deprecated. If you need to find a specific user, use the search bar and command palette.
