Description

This PR fixes the issue when allocations view is not updated when switching region. This leads to user seeing incorrect data and further errors when they try to interact with it - for eg. trying to access a job not existing in the newly switched region.

The changes in the PR are as below:

• The region change was not being detected correctly in the application router when comparing active region and region from query params
  • Updated region switcher to not set the active region and let it be updated by application router after comparing with query params
• Removed global store.unloadAll which was causing rendering errors and replaced it with route.refresh to reload active route models for the selected region
• Updated child detail routes (job and allocation) to explicitly reload related region data, avoiding reuse of stale cache after switching regions
• Also noticed an issue in clients details page when switching regions, where repeated calls to fetch node metrics were made. Fixed it by adding necessary guards and removing stale trackers

Testing & Reproduction steps

To reproduce the issue, set up Nomad instances with two regions and deploy a job to the federated cluster.

• Start instance for region 1

bin/nomad agent -dev -config=india-dev.hcl

• Start instance for region 2

bin/nomad agent -dev -config=us-dev.hcl

• Join the instances and deploy a sample job in both instances

bin/nomad server join -address=http://127.0.0.1:5646 127.0.0.1:4648
bin/nomad job run -region=india minimal-job.nomad
bin/nomad job run -region=us minimal-job.nomad

• Launch UI and navigate to jobs view http://localhost:4646/ui/jobs/example
• Switch between regions and observe the recent allocations data does not refresh
• Also click on an allocation id after switching initial region to observe object not found error

To verify the fix, please make another build with the PR branch and repeat the above steps

make dev-ui

You should see updated data for relevant region without any errors
