manager: add Reload() D-Bus command
Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration. For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several advantages here: - it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals can only be sent by root. - the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response further until specific parts are fully reloaded. - SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS configuration anew. Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via signals the user can: 1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin. 2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk, writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin. There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading everything else.
