Description
A method that allows you to request a tile be reloaded
pbfLayer.reload(x, y, z)
Use case: I'm building a data editing app served by an on-the-fly VT service and I want to refresh tiles on the frontend whenever I make a change to a feature on the backend.
If this sounds viable I'm happy to make a pull request!

Research direction
Locate the vector-tile layer's tile loading and update path, starting with how a tile at x, y, z is requested and rendered. Work out the scope of a pbfLayer.reload(x, y, z) API and verify that a backend data change refreshes the requested frontend tile without rebuilding the layer.
