Watchexec 2.4.0

Release notes

Add -I, --interactive mode, which enables some keyboard-driven actions: p (pause filesystem events), r (start or restart the current command), q (quit). (#67)
We now stop saying "Waiting 10s" when the process is not running (#975)

Known bug, fixed in 2.4.1: on macOS you have to press enter after using q in --interactive mode.
