Better handling and detection of failed watching operations
Better handling of duplicated events
Watching is now an atomic operation - If watching fails for a descendant, we will close everything related to that watch operation of the eve
We now prefer the watch method over the watchFile method - This offers great reliability and way less CPU and memory foot print - If you still wish to prefer watchFile, then set the new configuration option preferredMethod to watchFile
Closes issue #30 thanks to Howard Tyson

This is a backwards compatiblity break, however updating is easy, read the notes below.
We've updated the events we emit to be: - log for debugging, receives the arguments logLevel ,args... - watching for when watching of the path has completed, receives the arguments err, isWatching - change for listening to change events, receives the arguments changeType, fullPath, currentStat, previousStat - error for gracefully listening to error events, receives the arguments err - read the README to learn how to bind to these new events
The changeType argument for change listeners has been changed for better clarity and consitency: - change is now update - new is now create - unlink is now delete
We've updated the return arguments for require('watchr').watch for better consitency: - if you send the paths option, you will receive the arguments err, results where results is an array of watcher instances - if you send the path option, you receive the arguments err, watcherInstance
