watch(1) utility added to -current

Contributed by rueda on 2025-07-11 from the something-the-somethingers dept.

Job Snijders (job@) has added (to -current) a new utility, watch(1), for periodically executing a command and displaying its output.

The IIJ's iwatch was initially imported back in May, and has been reworked substantially before being linked to the build.
