Broadcast profile updates so member lists stay live (no reload needed)

Another user's new display name or avatar didn't show up until you
reloaded -- update_profile/upload_avatar/remove_avatar never told
anyone. Same root cause and fix shape as #26 (room_added): the
frontend's already-fetched member list had no way to hear about a
change, since nothing ever pushed one.

Reuses the existing per-room broadcast channel (not the per-user one
#26 added, since this only matters for rooms the affected user shares
with someone currently looking at them) -- publishes member_updated to
every room the user belongs to; ChatShellPage refetches members when
it arrives for the currently open room.

Verified end-to-end in the browser: one user's room-info member list
updated live when another user changed their display name from a
separate session, no reload.
