Notes

Added watchdog thread to help monitor for Santa performance issues.

Preparation for the release of 10.11. As /usr/libexec and /usr/sbin can no longer be written to, instead store Santa's binaries inside the kernel extension bundle and add a symlink for santactl in /usr/local.

Fixed a few occasional bugs in SantaGUI (reconnection bug) and config file watcher (runaway memory use if file is missing)
