Use `/reload` instead of restarting service when changing some things in configuration #71

When changing whitelist or serverProperties, it is not always nice that the entire service restarts, since it disconnects all players. If you are only changing whitelist for example, the server could just be reloaded with the /reload command.

I am not quite sure how this would be implemented, but I know that the restartIfChanged option exists which could be set to false. I guess adding a ExecReload command to the service would be the first step to make this work.

I don't think /reload works like this anyway.
