Use `reload` instead of `restart` for `-r` #3

As of i3 v4.8, the reload command will now refresh the colors of i3bar, as well as update all of the changes in the config. The restart command is no longer necessary for this purpose. It potentially can cause issues that cause clients to crash.

Good to know - i didn't read that in the git log and release notes - when was that changed? 'restart' should then be removed if it can cause issues and crashes.

It was a change I made with config template apps in mind. restart is still useful for developers and for applying updates without restarting X, but it might be removed from the default config in later versions.

Ok, i replaced restart with reload - thanks for the hint! :-)
