Fire an event before reloading

[joankaradimov]

The LiveReload object receives LiveReloadConnect/LiveReloadDisconnect events. Would it be possible/reasonable to trigger a LiveReloadBeforeReload event (or something similar) before the actual reloading is done? This will allow to distinguish between user initiated navigation and the reloading done by livereload-js.

You mean document receives these events, right? To avoid confusion.
Firing a LiveReloadReload event from a reload event before the reloader sounds reasonable.

You are right, yes. The LiveReload object actually receives connect/disconnect and then fires LiveReloadConnect/LiveReloadDisconnect on the document.

Firing a LiveReloadReload event from a reload event before the reloader sounds reasonable.

So adding this line in performReload would be ok:

CustomEvents.fire(document, 'LiveReloadReload');

Should I open a pull request or can someone else implement this? Also - does this require a test?

A PR would definitely be appreciated, thanks!
There seem to be no mocha tests for this functionality. So let's add them, however basic.
