We should have a way to know if install, rm or upgrade has changed something #43

In the context of Ansible, we should have a way to know if we need to restart Qgis server or not, so we don't restart it if there is no change.

I suggest to create a file, for example named RESTART_REQUIRED into the cache directory, when qgis plugin manager has made some changes. So Ansible (or any bash script), could restart Qgis server if this file exists (and it will delete it).

It requires issue #42 and #41

Similar to what was done in Py-QGIS-Server with SERVER_RESTARTMON

From https://docs.3liz.org/py-qgis-server/configuration.html#server-restartmon

The file to watch for restarting workers.

So I added a new environment variable QGIS_PLUGIN_MANAGER_RESTART_FILE. The file will be created/touched by the tool after install/upgrade/remove.

Note that #42 is not done yet, so an upgrade will create the file anyway for now.
