Got annoyed testing things directly on the PlayDate via simulator and made a small make command for automating the pdx deployment with `make deploy`.

Unfortunately it seems udiskctl power-off doesn't send the eject signal to the device so I have to resort to using `sudo eject` instead, but other than that this should be much faster to iterate on device now.

Once again, this is partly based on @mario_afk bash script from this article:

qwack!

@bd
I was starting to think about doing something like that! Thanks!

Do you really need to eject from the computer side though? When I ctrl-U I see notifications for udiskie mounting the PD and unmounting it after the copying is done.
Then I press A on the device to eject and restart.

OTOH, what I'd really like would be for the simulator to automatically reload when I compile a new PDX (I guess I could kill it and restart but it doesn't feel efficient)
