Update external assets are aggressively cached in web #6955
Description
The bug
When updating an external asset and refreshing the library, there is very aggressive caching on the web that prevents it from being shown to the user. This caching works fine for upload libraries but not external libraries.
We need to be smarter about caching external assets.
This is a known issue and is documented in the external library docs but we should still fix it

there is a lot of failed cache invalidation in immich, and idk how it should be fixed
another example that comes to mind is when a person thumbnail is changed, it changes the thumbnail on that person's page yet going back to the /people page shows the old thumbnail
but yes, i've also had this problem where i transcoded an incompatible video, and after jobs completed, immich asset viewer didn't see the new version of the video for a while so wouldn't play it

I'm not sure we should close this one, I think this issue is the catch all for cache invalidation. Let's make the other issues a dupe of this one

@etnoy It's not just about external libraries though. So this issue doesn't tell the whole story. The other one is more generic IMO
