Keep the inspector open on update #1458

Related to #1456/#1457, it would be great if we could keep the inspector open in the same[1] position when the inspected object is updated, instead of reverting to the initial (closed) state.

[1] or same-ish… as much as the differences between data structure make possible.

Related https://github.com/observablehq/inspector/issues/12 which is that the inspector itself is only smart enough to keep the top-level state expanded or collapsed.
