30479	Autoreloader with StatReloader doesn't track changes in manage.py.	Keryn Knight	Tom Forbes	"This is a bit convoluted, but here we go.

Environment (OSX 10.11):
{{{
$ python -V
Python 3.6.2
$ pip -V
pip 19.1.1
$ pip install Django==2.2.1
}}}

Steps to reproduce:
- Run a server `python manage.py runserver`
- Edit the `manage.py` file, e.g. add `print()`: 
{{{
def main():
    print('sth')
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'ticket_30479.settings')
    ...
}}}

Under 2.1.8 (and prior), this will trigger the auto-reloading mechanism. Under 2.2.1, it won't. As far as I can tell from the `django.utils.autoreload` log lines, it never sees the `manage.py` itself.
