JIra Watcher Management Improvements

• Enhanced _add_watchers method to prevent duplicate watcher additions. This is essential because if there are a lot of watchers and jira tickets this could amount to a huge load of unnecessary requests when we are updating these tickets for unrelated fields.
• Added error handling for watcher addition failures
• Improved efficiency by checking existing watchers before making API calls

We are running this internally for our organization. While we don't have a large volume of tickets, the current approach has been causing issues. Specifically, some of the cron jobs frequently trigger update watcher requests, which result in a significant number of requests being sent to Jira. This high volume of requests is effectively contributing to the overwhelming of Jira, leading to it being locked for updates and writes.
