🎉 (admin) add refresh DIs button

[sophiamersmann]

Resolves #4804

There’s currently a limitation where new content from gdocs is only fetched when the admin preview is visited, so DIs shown on the DI index page in the admin can go stale.

Authors sometimes update the figma-url field in the gdoc and expect the ‘Figma URL’ and ‘Update image’ buttons to appear on the DI index page. One workaround is to visit the DI preview page in the admin, but this keeps coming up, so I thought it was time to fix it.

I went with a ‘Refresh’ button, instead of refreshing automatically in the background on page load, because it’s much simpler and means I don’t have to worry about things like debouncing while typing in the search input, etc
