FileWatcher class abstract
Watches a file and emits WatchEvents when the file has changed.
Note that since each watcher only watches a single file, it will only emit ChangeType.MODIFY events, except when the file is deleted at which point it will emit a single ChangeType.REMOVE event and then close the stream.
If the file is deleted and quickly replaced (when a new file is moved in its place, for example) this will emit a ChangeType.MODIFY event.
