Ethan Atkins 7d3d3c71d6 Refactor Watched
This commit reworks Watched to be more testable and extensible. It also
adds some small features. The previous implementation presented a number
of challenges:

1) It relied on external side effects to terminate the watch, which was
   difficult to test
2) It exposed irrelevant implementation details to the user in the
   methods that exposed the WatchState as a parameter.
3) It spun up two worker threads. One was to monitor System.in for user
   input. The other was to poll the watch service for events and write
   them to a queue. The user input thread actually broke '~console'
   because nearly every console session will hit the <enter> key, which
   would eventually cause the watch to stop when the user exited the
   console.

To address (1), I add the shouldTerminate method to WatchConfig. This
takes the current watch iteration is input and if the function returns
true, the watch will stop.

To address (2), I replace the triggeredMessage and watchingMessage keys
with watchTriggeredMessage and watchStartMessage. The latter two keys
are functions that do not take the WatchState as parameters. Both
functions take the current iteration count as a parameter and the
watchTriggeredMessage also has a parameter for the path that triggered
the build.

To address (3), I stop using the sbt.internal.io.EventMonitor and
instead use the sbt.io.FileEventMonitor. The latter class is similar to
the former except that it's polling method accepts a duration, which may
be finite or infinite) and returns all of the events that occurred since
it was last polled. By adding the ability to poll for a finite amount of
time, we can interleave polling for events with polling System.in for
user input, all on the main thread. This eliminates the two extraneous
threads and fixes the '~console' use case I described before.

I also let the user configure the function that reads from System.in via
the watchHandleInput method. In fact, this method need not read from
System.in at all since it's just () => Watched.Action. The reason that
it isn't () => Boolean is that I'd like to leave open the option for the
ability to trigger a build via user input, not just terminating the
watch. My initial idea was to add the ability to type 'r' to re-build in
addition to <enter> to exit. This doesn't work without integrating
jline though because the input is buffered. Regardless, for testing
purposes, it gives us the ability to add a timeout to the watch by
making handleInput return true when a deadline expires.

The tests are a bit wonky because I still need to rely on side effects
in the logging methods to orchestrate the sequence of file events that
I'd like to test. While I could move some of this logic into a
background thread, there still needs to be coordination between the
state of the watch and the background thread. I think it's easier to
reason about when all of the work occurs on the same thread, even if it
makes these user provided functions impure.

I deprecated all of the previous watch related keys that are no longer
used with the new infrastructure. To avoid breaking existing builds, I
make the watchConfig task use the deprecated logging methods if they are
defined in the user's builds, but sbt will not longer set the default
values. For the vast majority of users, it should be straightforward to
migrate their builds to use the new keys.  My hunch is that the of the
deprecated keys, only triggeredMessage is widely used (in conjunction
with the clear screen method) and it is dead simple to replace it with
watchTriggeredMessage.

Note: The FileTreeViewConfig class is not really necessary for this commit.
It will become more important in a subsequent commit which introduces an
optional global file system cache.
