Add inotify file watcher for new pcaps to import #257

@peace-maker

Description

@peace-maker

To get pcaps into pkappa we have:

  • POST to /upload/[filename.pcap]
  • PCAP-over-IP

Other tools like tulip, shovel, caronte, (and pkappa1) support monitoring a directory and automatically loading new .pcap file once they appear.
We already use directory monitoring to detect changes to converter scripts, so this could be a nice quality of life feature for teams already distributing the pcaps using some sshfs or rsync.
