✋ Update `@parcel/watcher` to `2.4.x` #216825

For very large mono repos with many TS projects, we see endless loops in the file watcher process (e.g. outlook client) that seem to not reproduce when using @parcel/watcher@2.4.x.

However, there are currently 2 blocking issues with that version:

Idea from @deepak1556 as a workaround:

Have a git repository that has submodule of parcel on that commit
Have @parcel/watcher point to this new git repo
In the repo have a package.json two commands in the scripts section
- install - that would go into the submodule directory and build stuff
- postinstall - that will copy the contents of the submodule and put them in the root of this git repo so that require works
