Migrate to a better file watcher

[paulmillr]

Hey. Your file watcher (gaze) has 53 opened issues. Many bugs on various platforms.

Can we make a pull request that migrates the watching to chokidar? Chokidar is ultra-stable and is used in many popular projects.

+1, I basically chose gaze because it's widely used in gulp and seems to work there. But I'm all for a change.

Gulp is switching to chokidar ;) gulpjs/glob-watcher#13

👍 Lets make it a post-v2 (stable) change.

BTW, nice name for a watcher library: Chokidar (watchman in my lang) :p

FWIW, I've worked a lot with gaze, chokidar and sane. sane is the newest and least well known, but it is by far the most reliable in my experience. And I think it has the most sensible API. Worth a look.

@callumlocke, thanks for the suggestion. Will take a look.
