Description of change

Please refer to 5085 for a full description of the background, need for this PR, and the changes.

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.
