chrome.runtime.onInstalled not fired when reloading #25

It looks like this just reloads the code (which is fine!) - it might be nice if there was an option to force it to reload the unpacked version and trigger the chrome.runtime.onInstalled event.

This event doesn't trigger when reloading through the plugin (for me) but does if I go to my extension and do a fresh Load Unpacked.

Thank you for your suggestion. Further investigation is needed to determine if it's possible to achieve such functionality. If you would be able to contribute a PR, it would be of great help.
