Stop watching for changes on filename. If listener is specified, only that
particular listener is removed. Otherwise, all listeners are removed,
effectively stopping watching of filename.
Calling fs.unwatchFile() with a filename that is not being watched is a
no-op, not an error.
Using watch is more efficient than fs.watchFile() and fs.unwatchFile(). fs.watch() should be used instead of fs.watchFile() and fs.unwatchFile() when possible.
