Layout Builder Extras - live update

What does it do

You can compare it to quick_edit, but then in the mindset of "Layout Builder."

Live updates of Sections

When you change a setting on a Layout Builder section, for example Color, background, .... this will update the layout immediately so you can see your changes without pressing the save button.

Live updates of Layout Builder Blocks

When you change a settings or a field on a Layout Builder block it will also self update.
For example the title of your block, view mode of your block, a textfield, a textarea, a text_format, a link field, video_embed field (which is a textfield)

Media & Entity browser currently not (yet) supported.
