Remove mention to fswatch-run from the man page #249

Description

@nickodell

The man page mentions a command called fswatch-run:

     Although we encourage you to embrace the new fswatch behaviour and update your scripts, we provide a
     little wrapper called fswatch-run which is installed alongside fswatch which lets you use the legacy
     syntax:

           $ fswatch-run path [paths] program

     Under the hood, fswatch-run simply calls fswatch -o piping its output to xargs.

     fswatch-run is a symbolic link to a shell-specific wrapper.  Currently, ZSH and Bash scripts are pro-
     vided.  If no suitable shells are found in the target system, the fswatch-run symbolic link is not cre-
     ated.

According to the changelog, this was removed in 1.5.1:

fswatch/NEWS

Lines 104 to 110 in 1f52bc9

New in 1.5.1:
* fswatch-run scripts have been removed.
* Dependency on at least one supported shell (Zsh or Bash) has been removed.
* Fixes Issue 91: Can't compile fswatch 1.5.0 on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE.

Please update the documentation so that people like me don't go searching for a command which does not exist. Better yet, bring the command back!
