base.system.createApplyTickHistoryStream() emits once per apply tick with an object of the form:

{
  index: Number, // the index of the 'info' block in the `system.db`
  views: [{ key, appends }], // A list of changed views with the number of blocks appended
  writer: { key, length } // Which writer appended the blocks and what its new length is
}

This was prompted by my need to track what writer blocks / batches update the autobase's view(s). @mafintosh suggested it could be a nice API used for debugging as well.

`base.system.createApplyTickHistoryStream()` emits once per `apply` tick
with an object of the form:

```
{
  index: Number, // the index of the 'info' block in the `system.db`
  views: [{ key, appends }], // A list of changed views with the number of blocks appended
  writer: { key, length } // Which writer appended the blocks and what its new length is
}
```

This can be used for debugging how the apply function changed views over
the history of the autobase system.
