Fix "Monitoring" not detecting all file changes issue

This patch adds an active monitor to detect changes on files since Windows isn't honoring FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE or FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE on ReadDirectoryChangesW correctly if the file writer keep it opened.
This solution is based on GNU tail for Windows does. It does it at
static void tail_forever (struct File_spec *f, int nfiles, double sleep_interval) on tail.c.

Fix #3142, fix #4955, fix #4527, close #7969
