Adding the ability to get realtime changes on files
for the purpose of push-notification/webhook style
watching and for folks to be able to implement sync
clients without trying too hard.

Work in progress:

  • Need to ask some Google Drive platform folks what the various
    Channel types are. I've currently found web_hook but that
    requires registration by the user.
  • If there is a persistent connection that
    pushes notifications say over HTTP2, let's use that instead of
    having to hop over web hooks.
  • Actually we can do changeList retrieval but we'll have to
    implement polling AFAIK unless there is some magic sauce
    as point 2) is hopeful about.
