    tools/oxenstored: Reject invalid watch paths early
    
    Watches on invalid paths were accepted, but they would never trigger.  The
    client also got no notification that its watch is bad and would never 
trigger.
    
    Found again by the structured fuzzer, due to an error on live update reload:
    the invalid watch paths would get rejected during live update and the list 
of
    watches would be different pre/post live update.
    
    The testcase is watch on `//`, which is an invalid path.
