watch: exit when command output changes.

Browse Source 
Add new flags to watch (-g/--chgexit) so that it exits when the
output changes.  This is useful in builds and shell scripts, for
example when deploying webapps to block the remainder of the
deployment steps until after the webapp starts.

e.g. watch --chgexit curl http://foo/bar
