Add a watcher to file

vv reload automatically a file if it changed on the disk.
The watcher is on the mhd file, and when it send a signal:
we find the item in the data tree corresponding to that file (in the data tree the items are written with an extra 0 at the end of the pathname)
We reload all these items stored in a vector
