Description
https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/file-watch/
It would be nice to surface this as:
- a command
Containers: Compose Watch - a context menu on project item the Containers pane
Oddly compared to commands like docker compose up, the docker compose watch command doesn't seem to support passing a file to be used, so the command would have to be run from the folder that contains the compose file (e.g. this is useful in situations where you're managing multiple projects and have a folder per project)

Research direction
Start with the Docker Compose file-watch documentation linked in the issue, then trace how the extension registers commands and project-item context menus in the Containers pane. Implement the Containers: Compose Watch command with the project folder as its working directory and expose the same action from a project item's context menu; verify both entry points with the extension's existing checks.
