Allow additional paths that trigger a reload/restart to be configured

Browse Source 
Previously, only folders on the classpath would be watched and used
to trigger a restart/reload of the application. This commit adds a
new property spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths that can be
used to configure additional paths that should be watched for
changes. When a change occurs in one of those paths a restart or
reload will be triggered, depending on the full restart exclude
patterns configured via the existing spring.devtools.restart.exclude
property.

Closes gh-3469

==== Excluding resources
Certain resources don't necessarily need to trigger a restart when they are changed. For
example, Thymeleaf templates can just be edited in-place. By default changing resources
in `/META-INF/maven`, `/META-INF/resources` ,`/resources` ,`/static` ,`/public` or
`/templates` will not trigger a restart. If you want to customize these exclusions you
can use the `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` property. For example, to exclude only
`/templates` will not trigger a restart but will trigger a
<<using-boot-devtools-livereload, live reload>>. If you want to customize these exclusions
you can use the `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` property. For example, to exclude only

==== Watching additional paths
You may want your application to be restarted or reloaded when you make changes to files
that are not on the classpath. To do so, use the
`spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths` property to configure additional paths to watch
for changes. You can use the `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` property
<<using-boot-devtools-restart-exclude, described above>> to control whether changes
beneath the additional paths will trigger a full restart or just a
<<using-boot-devtools-livereload, live reload>>.
