Resolves #997

The problem is that we can only exit from the loop by timeout and it will never happen if the condition variable is triggered every debounce_interval_seconds or more often. A solution is simple - just add a monotonic timer.

Update:
Resolves: #999
Resolves: #1000

Note that the test failure is irrelevant to the change (it doesn't involve the debouncer, the next test with the debouncer passes).

Makes it more readable and fixes a few issues, see gorakhargosh#999 and gorakhargosh#1000

I've looked at the failing test and what brings some suspicion is that there is some racing between a process watcher which is enabled when restart_on_command_exit (defaults to True) and restarting on the event, which is actually what we check in this test. I.e., once we have an event that restarts the process, we kill it, and the process watcher immediately kicks in and tries to restart it as well. Just a hypothesis, I can create a separate PR with a fix to the test or to the trick.

Edit: see #1002, let's give it a shot!

Just a long shot for a failure observed on gorakhargosh#998. My hypothesis is that
when we stop ProcessWatcher before we restart the process manually, we
don't yield to it and immediately kill the process. Next, when the
ProcessWatcher thread is woken up, we have to conditions ready - the
popen_obj and stopped_event, see the corresponding code, ``` while
True: if self.popen_obj.poll() is not None: break if
self.stopped_event.wait(timeout=0.1): return ```

And desipte that `stopped_event` is set, we first check for
`popen_obj` and trigger the process restart.

We can also make the ProcessWatcher logic more robust, by checking if
we are stopped before calling the termination callback, e.g.,

```
        try:
            if not self.stopped_event.is_set():
                self.process_termination_callback()
        except Exception:
            logger.exception("Error calling process termination callback")
```

I am not 100% sure about that, as I don't really know what semantics
is expected from ProcessWatcher by other users. But at least the
AutoRestarter expects this semantics - i.e., a watcher shall not call
any events after it was stopped.
