feat: tail -f option

We should support shell.tail('-f', ...). We would need to "follow" the file as it grows - basically, tail('-f') would never terminate. This isn't super useful in a programmatic context, but would be more useful in shx.

I'm the author of the original issue on shx. The main reason why I opened it is, that It would be great for npm commands to be able listen to a debug file for cross-platform code that is not executed via debugger.
