Chris Hill-Scott 795fd8f91d Add Makefile command to watch for frontend changes ...

When editing CSS, Javascript or other assets it’s useful to not have to
run `gulp` manually to rebuild things after making changes.

This is why we have the `npm watch` script.

However for the paths to fonts to resolve properly when running locally
it needs the `NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT` variable set to `development`. Having
to remember to do both of these steps every time is awkward.

For a one-off build of the frontend we added a command to set
`NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT` to the appropriate value in https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/4049

This commit does the same thing for the watch task, by encapsulating
both steps in one `make` command.

Happy to take alternative suggestions on command naming.
