Debugger and auto-recompile on file change

[pienter-tech]

Hello,
For starters: I really love the generators!
But I'm missing two things in this project:

• When using npm start the debugger should be on by default.
  I added this:

    use: [{
          loader: 'elm-webpack-loader',
          options: {
            verbose: true,
            debug: true,
          },
        }],
  

  to the webpack.config.js but when I want to build I always have to remember to change the options.
• Right now when I update the elm code I always have to stop and rerun npm start
  it would be nice if there was a file watcher to recompile automatically.

@pienter-tech you probably can just npm i --dev elm-hot-webpack-loader and replace loader with

{
  test: /\.elm$/,
  exclude: [/elm-stuff/, /node_modules/],
  use: [
    { loader: "elm-hot-webpack-loader" },
    {
      loader: "elm-webpack-loader",
      options: {
        cwd: __dirname,
        // debug: true,
        pathToElm: "node_modules/.bin/elm"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is only true for --serverless config

@tigp is it possible to get HMR without --serverless config? I'd like to get both SSR and HMR

sorry for the looong delay, I've fixed to now recompile also the version with a server on #32, it's not hot though, if anybody wants to work on that feel free, I'll open another issue for that: #33

@Maxim-Filimonov there is the webpack-hot-middleware to use on the server, but I haven't had time to play with it yet
