Expose watch api in the js library

See original GitHub issue

Right now the js library exposes render and renderSync api.

it would be useful to have a “watch” api exposed as well.

There are a bunch of api available in watch.dart but not in a way directly consumable by the js api.

It would be useful to expose the same.

We’ve typically treated node-sass as developer CLI as opposed to a bare Sass compiler like LibSass. As a result we’ve baked in developer productivity features like watching and incremental compilation.

What APIs does Node Sass expose for incremental compilation? I don’t see anything about this in the README.

We use some watcher APIs to achieve incremental compilation so we prefer decorate watcher configuration than mutate or decorate a watcher instance.

WDYT about making a separate package like chokidar-sass that exposes these APIs in a cross-implementation way, rather than requiring each implementation to re-implement them?
