Option to trigger a restart of application pods with `rad run` and `rad deploy`

[willtsai]

Overview of feature request

Today, the rad run app.bicep command does not restart the pods for the application. Thus, if a user makes a change to their resource (e.g. Dapr pub/sub component) and then runs rad run app.bicep again, the pod may not have picked up the configuration changes made to the resource without the pod being restarted as well. This means that the user would then have to manually restart their pod(s) with kubectl rollout restart in addition to the rad run app.bicep command.

This request is for a convenience feature where a flag (or equivalent) can be optionally set in the rad CLI for the rad run and rad deploy commands that will trigger pod restarts in addition to deploying and running the application.

Acceptance criteria

• An optional flag added to the rad run and rad deploy commands that would trigger pod restarts (similar to manually running kubectl rollout restart) in addition to deploying and running the application.
• Documentation updated to reflect this.
