Get projects plugin to pick up new projects #6399

Issue is resolved, yet unreleased if open
Context
When working with the projects plugin, a newly created project is not getting picked up. While it is relatively easy to trigger a re-build by touching the main
mkdocs.yml
, it would be nice if new projects were picked up automatically.It is debatable whether this constitutes a bug or a change request. I went with the latter since this should not be blocker for anyone.
Description
I am proposing to add something to the configuration of the file system watcher that would identify a new subdirectory in the
projects_dir
. Looking at the documentation of the watchdog library used, it seems this should be possible.Related links
Use Cases
This applies for any use of the projects plugin. It may be more important to some uses than others, since in some there will be plenty new subprojects being created all the time, while other users may have a limited and static set of subprojects.
