Clarify that Event may have a name for indirectly-watched directories. #169

Clarify that events will populate the Name field when the Event is in a watched directory but does not concern a file or directory that is watched directly. The previous documentation implied this only applied to files, but at least on 5.10.0-3 I'm finding that it applies to both files and directories, with the relevant point being only whether it is watched directly, and this behavior makes more sense anyway IMO.
