prometheus-nginx-log-exporter stopped tailing logs on many of my servers
after sometimes and needed a manual restart to start working again.

I couldn't able to reproduce it, but as suggested here,
switching from inotify (default) to poll might help to fix the issue.

Also in a similar nginx log exporter, they're using Poll: true as well.

I found out that this issue was fixed in hpcloud/tail#99, but the hpcloud/tail version we're using (v1.0.0 - the latest release) doesn't have that commit yet

Hi Anh, lgtm. Could you also mention in the commit message why the change to fsnotify was made ?

Mainly to include this change: hpcloud/tail#99

I also ran `go mod tidy` to update indirect dependency (fsnotify)
