Brendan Ashworth 23efb05cc3 doc: document fs.watchFile behaviour on ENOENT
When fs.watchFile encounters an ENOENT error, it invokes the given
callback with some error data. This caused an issue as it was different
behaviour than Node v0.10. Instead of changing this behaviour, document
it and add a test.
