Description
### Prerequisites
- [X] I have written a descriptive issue title
- [X] I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested
### 🚀 Feature Proposal
Allow a directory (or list of directories) to be passed into the `--watch` param
### Motivation
In my project, I have a small API subfolder. When I turn on --watch, it is monitoring my entire project root for changes, which leads to resets constantly.
### Example
Right now the only solution is to do something like this:
```bash
fastify start --watch --ignore-watch '.git node_modules out .next content public scripts utils styles pages config compontents' --log-level info --pretty-logs --port ${API_PORT:-4321} api/server.js
```
I would rather do this:
```bash
fastify start --watch api --log-level info --pretty-logs --port ${API_PORT:-4321} api/server.js
```
