Sakthipriyan Vairamani ed85c95a9c doc,test: documents behaviour of non-existent file
As per the discussion in
https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/2093#discussion_r34343965, this
patch documents the behavior of calling fs.watchFile() with a path that
does not yet exist.

This patch also includes a test which checks if a file not present, the
callback is invoked at least once and if the file is created after
the callback is invoked, it will be invoked again with new stat
objects.
