[PATCH v8 11/12] fsmonitor: add a sample integration script for Watchman

[Ben Peart <benpeart@microsoft.com>]

This script integrates the new fsmonitor capabilities of git with the
cross platform Watchman file watching service. To use the script:

Download and install Watchman from https://facebook.github.io/watchman/.
Rename the sample integration hook from fsmonitor-watchman.sample to
fsmonitor-watchman. Configure git to use the extension:

git config core.fsmonitor .git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman

Optionally turn on the untracked cache for optimal performance.
