WarWatcher patch for improved checks and logging

This is a follow-up to the "FarmWarDeployer not checking watchDir" thread on tomcat-users.

In the FarmWarDelpoyer and WarWatcher components, if the permissions of the watchDir are broken (i.e 644 instead of 755), Tomcat does not inform the user that something is wrong, with no log whatsoever after putting a war file in the watchDir.

A patch by Christopher Schultz is attached that adds some checking and logging to WarWatcher to allow an easier debugging.
