Making "wing it" watcher ignore website folders

[tsuf239]

Feature Spec

Assuming we have a folder containing our client-side application in one subfolder, and the wing file in another/at the root,
we want to prevent the wing watcher from watching the client-side files.
one way to do it is "knowing" what files to ignore (detect the website paths), and another, is "knowing" what files to include- only the wing file and its imports.

This shouldn't be necessary if #3730 gets implemented, right?

right!

So there's no need to complete this? It's not clear for me what is the "wing it's watcher". All I can see HERE is that it looks for a .w file, not for any subfolders.

closing as a duplication (specific case) of #3730
