Switch jurigged file system event monitoring from watchdog to watchfiles #81

This seems like a robust solution to getting event polling that should just work. This issue is to investigate using watchfiles instead of watchdog and updating the documentation as appropriate.

The added complexity here doesn't seem to be worth the value. The polling performance is tunable but it seems to increase risk and even after spending several hours with this it keeps flubbing between "I think this is working" to "nope, still not picking something up for some reason"
