feature: Simplify usage

Why don't we update Thyme CLI to have really smart defaults + "watch" built in. IE a user should just be able to run

$ thyme track
<ctrl-c>
$ thyme show
# opens thyme.html similiar to how go pprof opens webbrowser for svgs

and it would magically work.

Going one step further, can't we just make all that transparent?

Just run thyme once, and it starts tracking in the background, dumping json etc.

It also opens up a local webserver to serve the output html file, so to view the current results, just goto localhost:6090 and they'll be served to you!

I don't think it is a good idea to start a web server without an explicit action from the user. But maybe a flag to be able to track and keep a server open at the same time would be a good idea.

Like

thyme --track --show

@dufferzafar: No, it's part of the service manager job to daemonize tools, not tool by itself. E.g., using systemd, there should be .service file managing that.

I like this idea. Will happily accept a PR :)
