Auto Reloading of components

[oberstet]

"""
No, the real limit is still the youth project: no autoreload for the server (super annoying having to do it manually every time you change the code) and server-side errors in the read JS console, not in the terminal from which you started the server.
"""

To automatically reload a component, three things need to happen:

1. the filesystem must be watched

2. the WAMP component must be stopped and restarted

3. changed Python modules need to be reloaded

4. is addressed in https://github.com/crossbario/crossbar/tree/master/crossbar/crossbar/platform

5. is addressed in https://github.com/crossbario/crossbar/blob/master/crossbar/crossbar/common/reloader.py

All of above needs to be wired up.

@phrfpeixoto - Automatic reloading is not implemented yet.

There is the 'watch' option, which is a dict taking 2 keys ('directories', a list of paths, and 'action' which only accepts 'restart'). This only works on OSes with fsnotify; see also http://crossbar.io/docs/Guest-Configuration/
