add content about how to update config file in spec #49

Closed nick-mccoy closed 6 years ago

nick-mccoy commented 6 years ago

There are taps that need to refresh their credentials during or before a run. These credentials are sometimes refreshed in a linked-list fashion, where the previous creds are needed to get the new, refreshed creds. The tap needs a way to update the config file to remember the most recent creds it used.

This PR adds details to the spec about how taps should update the config file.
