Refactor and Improve Code Formatting in kiwix-serve.cpp - Introduced `listenDirectoryChanges()` function (Linux-only) to monitor directory changes and reload the library dynamically. - Used `inotify` to detect modifications in watched directories and trigger library updates. - Implemented a dedicated **monitor thread** to watch for changes in the specified directory. - Ensured proper synchronization and thread safety while handling directory monitoring. - Reformatted and improved code readability by adjusting indentation, spacing, and alignment. - Fixed inconsistent whitespace in function definitions, loops, and conditions. - Standardized `#include` ordering for better organization. - Reordered `#include` statements to maintain consistency across platforms. - Improved error handling by adding better structured `try-catch` blocks. - Standardized macro definitions and improved formatting for readability. - Improved logging messages for better debugging and clarity.
