Refresh User Data on Demand

Description

Updates to a user's Codeboard profile may take a few minutes to reflect recent activity on LeetCode. To provide a more responsive experience, we need an API endpoint that allows users to manually refresh their profile data on demand.

Suggested Fix:

Create this API endpoint in the leaderboard app and ensure that:

• The user is authenticated before proceeding.
• Retrieve the user's username and ID from the Database [Leetcode Model].
• The user's username and ID are retrieved and passed to get_and_update_user_data() (a Celery task in tasks.py) to fetch and update the data.
• Prefer running it as a Celery task, though this might impact existing concurrency settings—so check if running the function directly would be a better fit for your setup.

Refer to the Profile(APIView) class in leaderboard/views.py for a similar logic of getting the user instance.

Additional Notes:

• Running the task asynchronously is ideal, but it may require adjustments based on how it interacts with current concurrency limits.
• Log the errors properly.
