Changes to directories outside cwd are not detected on Win10/powershell

[martinsik]

• Versions: node@v16.13.0, win32@10.0.19044
• nodemon -v: 2.0.15
• Operating system/terminal environment (powershell, gitshell, etc): powershell
• Using Docker? What image: No
• Command you ran: cross-env ENVIRONMENT=dev npx nodemon src/main.ts

Expected behaviour

Script will restart after making changes in a watched directory that is specified usign a relative path from cwd.

Actual behaviour

Changes are not detected. Only changes to subdirectories from cwd ./ are detected. While using "legacyWatch: true" changes are properly detected.

This issue seems to be similar: https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/909

Steps to reproduce

I have the following nodemon.json:

{
  "execMap": {
    "ts": "node --inspect=9230 -r ts-node/register -r tsconfig-paths/register"
  },
  "delay": 1000,
  "watch": [
    "./src",
    "./environment",
    "../backend/src",
    "../core/.build",
    "../utils/.build",
    "../export-module/.build",
    "../file-storage/.build"
  ],
}

When I make a change (recompile) file in any directory starting with ../ (outside cwd) for example in ../utils/.build the change is not detected while making changes in ./src or ./environments is detected properly.

When I add "legacyWatch": true then changes in any directory are detected as expected.
