Descripción

**Description:**

Ionic 4 Angular project supports serving to disk with on-the-fly compiling of sources for `browser` engine by calling `ionic build --engine=browser -- --watch`. In that case if any change to assets is made than `www` directory is updated.
But there are no such option for `cordova` engine, i.e. if I call `ionic build --engine=cordova --platform=android -- --watch` then `Unknown option: '--watch'` appears.
AFAIK previous Angular project template has this feature (you could use just `ionic serve --no-open` to get the same behavior as for Ionic 4 browser engine).
In other words, Angular 4 project doesn't provide an ability to watching over sources and compile cordova-compatible assets on the fly. Eventually, it breaks [cordova-simulate](https://github.com/microsoft/cordova-simulate) livereload scenarios and, consequently, Cordova Extension for VS Code simulate scenarios with livereload enabled https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cordova/issues/532#issuecomment-496563067.

In general, if there are any other ways of how to achieve compiling of Ionic 4 `angular` project with cordova integrated and livereload then it would be enough.

**Steps to Reproduce:**
* Create Ionic 4 angular project:
```
ionic start ionic4app tabs --cordova --type=angular --no-link
cd ionic4app
ionic cordova platform add android
```
* Run `ionic build --engine=browser -- --watch`, then change e.g. `src/app/tab1/tab1.page.html` and see that `www` directory is updated
* Run `ionic build --engine=cordova --platform=android -- --watch` and see `Unknown option: '--watch'` error is appeared.
