No more manual reloading of unpacked chrome extensions when developing!

Shamelessly ripped from [xpl/crx-hotreload](https://github.com/xpl/crx-hotreload)

## Usage

In your `manifest.json`:

```json
"permissions": ["management", "activeTab"]
```

- `management` allows for reloading the chrome extension (**required**)
- `activeTab` allows for logging status to the current tab (*optional*)

In your `background` script:

```js
import "crx-livereload";
```

Build, watch and see the automagic happen.
