Support for windows / WSL2 #63

ipfs-embed does not work on windows WSL2, due to mdns not working.

this can be traced back to if-watch not working. I think WSL2 is for better or worse a very popular platform, especially for developers. So it should work out of the box, otherwise adoption will be limited.

The best way to accomplish this would probably be to use the fallback poll based approach whenever the OS specific approach does not work for whatever reason.
