A common use case for 'thyme' is to record the active windows at regular intervals. To make this easier, the command 'watch' can now be used instead of 'track'. $ thyme watch -n <value> -o thyme.json should be equivalent to $ watch -n <value> thyme track -o thyme.json or $ while true; do thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep <value>s; done; but is also usable on systems that do not have 'watch' installed and easier to use than a shell loop. If no interval is specified (-n or --interval) then it defaults to 30 seconds. This was originally suggested by @keegancsmith.

Note that package names are different for RPM, as in #48

Yes, hence the 'usually'. Might be a good idea to add those names too I guess.

$ thyme watch -n [value] -o thyme.json
should be equivalent to
$ watch -n [value] thyme track -o thyme.json
or
$ while true; do thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep [value]s; done;
but is also usable on systems that do not have 'watch' installed and easier
to use than a shell loop.

Partially fixes #17
Possibly the track command behavior should simply be replaced by the watch command behavior. Thoughts?
I also added some other fixes to this pull request which addresses #36 (as there doesn't seem to be a way to have multiple different pull requests active from the same source repository... though maybe one can do it by creating new branches... I am not sure).
Generally the dep command seems to have caused a lot of confusion (as indicated by #39, #29 and #36) so these commits remove that command and instead checks are done when the program is started. I did not find a way to check if accessibility privileges were available, so for that it simply adds a more descriptive error message when it detects that error after an applescript has been executed.
