Currently, '--reload' uses FS polling to find out when files have changed. For some time, the Linux kernel has had a feature called inotify that allows applications to monitor for FS events without polling. This commit adds a new 'use-inotify' configuration option that will cause gunicorn to use the new 'InotifyReloader' instead of the default 'Reloader' when 'reload' is enabled. Using inotify can result in lower CPU consumption by gunicorn especially when working with virtualized filesystems or environments with a large number of watched files / directories.

worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn_ project. The Gunicorn server is broadly
compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server
