Add polling option for watching files

See original GitHub issue

🚀 Feature Proposal

As an alternative to using file streams, add an option to poll for files for legacy compatibility.

Motivation

A lot of other tools offer this options (Webpack, nodemon). My current use-case is that docker volumes on windows don’t support file watchers: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/56

Example

jest --watchAll poll would do the trick 😄

Pitch

Compatibility from other systems 👍
