Fix auto_reloader in less naive way

[sjsadowski]

This is a placeholder for overhauling auto_reload again after the patch to fix it for 19.3

Actually, there is a tool named sanic-admin(check here) can do exactly what auto_reloader wants to do. I have been using it for a long time and it works pretty well. Maybe consider to leveraging(or integrate) sanic-admin to fix the problems of auto_reloader?

@chenjr0719 thanks for the tip!

Can we link the original patch to 19.3 so that we have some context into what was actually done?

@seemethere, I believe this: 4260528

Is this still relevant? What is wrong with auto_reload?

[ChihweiLHBird]

@sjsadowski @chenjr0719 Are we still having any issue with auto_reload?

[ahopkins]

Hmm... Not that I am aware of 🤔

I did some work on it with #2167 which will be released soon to allow listening on specific directories (helpful for static file changes, etc). I think this is probably stale. Removing necessary label so it can die off in time unless someone sees a better reason to keep it open.
