Description

CLI 3.x dropped the hot key command in terminal 'r' to perform the live reload from the root of the app (location.hash = ""). A live reload of the current page, resulting from a change to watched file, can leave the app in an consistent state thus requiring full reload. We need an option to restart the app at the root. I find the loss of this feature to be most problematic for Ionic v1 projects.

**Steps to Reproduce:**

1. ionic serve | ionic run --lc ios | or any other live reload command
2. navigate into your app so not at root page
3. touch a watched file
4. app reloads at current page (location.hash preserved)

**Output:**

CLI has no hot key 'r' to restart the from the root URL (location.hash=""). My work around is to type location.hash="" into the browser debugger.

Bumming.
