Add README note for the optional [watch] installation extra #1203

Description

I noticed some confusion around the watch feature installation.

I originally installed Graphify using pip in the 0.3.x releases. After upgrading to 0.8.x and switching to the recommended uv installation method, the watch command stopped working and always showed:

PS C:\> graphify watch
error: watchdog not installed. Run: pip install watchdog
PS C:\>

Following the suggested pip install watchdog command did not resolve the issue.

I only discovered the solution after finding issue #178. The watch functionality requires installing the optional extra:

uv tool install "graphifyy[watch]"

It would be helpful to add this information to the README so users know that the watch feature is not included by default and requires the [watch] extra during installation.

This could save users from spending time troubleshooting the watchdog not installed error.
