Simple-file-poller

------------------

- added `params` object to allow attaching of arbitrary parameters to be used by the `check_file`
and `process_file` methods; this avoids accidentally overriding Poller attributes that were
introduced in later versions.

------------------

- added support for using watchdog for reacting to file creation events, speeding up polling

------------------

- `poll` method now skips directories, which could be listed if no extensions are supplied to restrict the polling.

------------------

- added `other_input_files` glob list and `delete_other_input_files` to manage additional files that may
reside in the input directory along side the actual files that are being processed.

------------------

- initial release
