Description

Add methods org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.WatchManager.reset(File) and org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.WatchManager.reset():

    /**
     * Resets all file monitors to their current last modified time. If this manager does not watch any file, nothing
     * happens.
     * <p>
     * This allows you to start, stop, reset and start again a manager, without triggering file modified events if the a
     * watched file has changed during the period of time when the manager was stopped.
     * </p>
     * 
     * @since 2.11.0
     */
    public void reset()

    /**
     * Resets the file monitor for the given file being watched to its current last modified time. If this manager does
     * not watch the given file, nothing happens.
     * <p>
     * This allows you to start, stop, reset and start again a manager, without triggering file modified events if the
     * given watched file has changed during the period of time when the manager was stopped.
     * </p>
     * 
     * @param file
     *            the file for the monitor to reset.
