External Process send Rerun about tic-80

[YPetremann]

During the night I though of the file based metadata, it would really be universal, could be used by users and tools:

-- script: lua
-- autorun: load save watch

a metadata could be inserted in the code to indicate how it should autorun the cartridge, this metadata would be read at each file change (load, save and watch) and used to determine if it would run on this action

• load mean that the cartridge is run on load command
• save mean that the cartridge is run on save (in tic80)
• watch mean that the cartridge is run on external file change

to prevent autorun to be problematic, there could be a one second delay where the user can Esc to cancel autorun

I think it will be better if we add this feature to the options menu.

[YPetremann]

An option menu can be interesting if people intention is to run tic at every save and reload
But having a way for tools to opt in and out at will by adding or removing a specific metadata can be powerfull

Also to clarify, it only make sense when the developer has access to the source outside of tic80 and given that it can be hard to remove the metadata outside of tic80, so we can see it as a pro only feature or even a non-tic file only feature
