golang live reload module

Purpose

Reload the golang server as I edit files. This is especially helpful for when making ui changes on the frontend with js, html, css.

Note: this is a Golang version. There is an alternate version in bash.

DO NOT have to do this by running a bash command from golang (using exec package) but probably can just turn main.go into a package, import from there, and then run that.

I think figuring out how to make the http server stop would be my first smart usage of go channels. Try it!
