Fix file_watcher feature hanging indefinitely (#10585)
# Objective Fix the `bevy_asset/file_watcher` feature in practice depending on multithreading, while not informing the user of it. **As I understand it** (I didn't check it), the file watcher feature depends on spawning a concurrent thread to receive file update events from the `notify-debouncer-full` crate. But if multithreading is disabled, that thread will never have time to read the events and consume them. - Fixes #10573 ## Solution Add a `compile_error!` causing compilation failure if `file_watcher` is enabled while `multi-threaded` is disabled. This is considered better than adding a dependency on `multi-threaded` on the `file_watcher`, as (according to @mockersf) toggling on/off `multi-threaded` has a non-zero chance of changing behavior. And we shouldn't implicitly change behavior. A compilation failure prevents compilation of code that is invalid, while informing the user of the steps needed to fix it.
