feat: add a "live reload flag"

See original GitHub issue

Feature Request

Ionic version: [x] 4.7.1

Describe the Feature Request Provide a way to determine when we are running Ionic using the --livereload flag.

Describe Preferred Solution When we are using the --livereload flag to debug the an in a Device, a way to recognize this should be available either with a platform.isLiveReload() or an window.isIonicLiveReload flag.

Describe Alternatives For ionic 3 I was snipping the URL for see if localhost is not present. It does not work anymore. Other options where to look into the window object for an IonicDevServer object. It does not work anymore.

As current workaround I am making a proxy of the WebSocket class to check when a connection is made. I wanted to put that code in a PR but I didn’t knew in which file should I do it.

Additional Context Some functionality needs workarounds or other way to handle. Example: Load media files from the device internal storage will throw CORS errors in livereload.
