fs: re-enable watch facility in AIX

On AIX, watch feature depends on AHAFS based Event infrastructure.
While in principle the watch use case is same across platforms, there
are subtle differences in the way AIX deals with this, with few
behavioral changes (external).

This commit addresses an assertion failure on folder watch, enabling the
AIX code for watch feature which was masked under a macro, open up
relevant test cases, skip tests which comes under the AIX limitation,
and make the document changes as appropriate.

 This is expected behavior.
 
+In AIX, save and close of a file being watched causes two notifications -
+one for adding new content, and one for truncation. Moreover, save and
+close operations on some platforms cause inode changes that force watch
+operations to become invalid and ineffective. AIX retains inode for the
+lifetime of a file, that way though this is different from Linux / OS X,
+this improves the usability of file watching. This is expected behavior.
