Description
Commit 15f82c7 ("used pyinotify as change detection system when
available") introduced a regression where editing a file in vim with
default settings (writebackup=auto) would no longer cause the dev server
to be restarted. On a write, vim moves the monitored file to a backup
path, and then creating a new file in the original. The new file is not
monitored as it has a different inode. Fix this by also watching for
inotify events IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_MOVE_SELF.

I'm unable to reproduce this, but maybe my vim is configured differently. I have vim 7.4.52 (default that comes with Ubuntu 14.04).
:set writebackup?yieldswritebackup(no mention of "auto"). Could you clarify how to reproduce? Thanks!
