Fix file reloading in a Vagrant environment

During this upgrade process, `rails server` hasn't been updating its logic when files changed, so every change had to be accompanied by a restart.

This turned out to be because Vagrant's networked filesystem to share between the host and guest systems doesn't support the filesystem update events Rails is listening for. So, we switch to a simpler file watcher that does more work but doesn't depend on the filesystem events!

# Fix file reloading in a Vagrant environment.

# TODO: In the future, if we don't expect the use of Vagrant or similar tech
# anymore, we could remove this for a minor dev perf improvement. We're on
# Vagrant now because it's hard to get older Ruby running on many modern
# systems, but later on that could change!
#
# NOTE: But I also see that this might be the default anyway in current
# Rails? idk when that changed... so maybe just delete this later?
