livereload: true refreshes page fully on Sass edit about gulp-webserver HOT 6 OPEN

@reintroducing It's best practices, when reporting issues to create 1 issue per Issue. So you have 2 issues now:

1. Support manually reloading contents, like in gulp-connect
2. Support partial reload, like from Grunt

I'll take a look at the source of gulp-connect and see if I can implement manually reloading, like gulp-connect had.

Regarding this point 1. Support manually reloading contents, like in gulp-connect, this was already clarified with #13. But I am still not happy with the advice by @schickling to move compiled files to different folders. This seems not be valid for all scenarios. Thus, a manual reload() seems to help some of us.

@schickling looking into the configuration, I'd propose the following changes to support manually reloading in livereload.

1. Add configuration to livereload property to set it to it to manual reload or automatic (automatic by default)
2. Change the API of gulp-webserver to export the webserver object as well as a reload method, like in gulp-connect.

I'm not sure if the change for point 2 will require breaking backwards compatibility or if I can add the reload method onto the already exported webserver.

1. Seems good!
2. Setting a object property should do the trick, like webserver.reload()

👍 Yes please! :)
