Add reload and test config commands

[0xcd0e]

Like the nginx -t command, it would be nice to verify the config (config.json, derp map, acl) prior to loading it. Also, like nginx -s reload, it would be nice to reload the configuration during runtime without having to restart the service.

I see the point of this, but I reckon we should develop first an internal API to communicate the CLI with the running service.

Also, bear in mind that given how Tailscale works, restarting the service does not break the connectivity of the nodes.

Yeah I am aware that this is more of an advanced feature and probably premature in the current state of the project :)

[juanfont]

You mean the current AMAZING state of the project 🤣

Oh no dont get me wrong, I think this project is amazing! I meant the early state of it, not that it was in any way bad :D

We should handle signals, so we can do what "traditional" unix apps does and reload the configfile, acls etc on HUP and do graceful shutdown on INT, KILL, etc.

Adding this support for ACLs in #601, in addition to a bit more graceful signal handling for shutdown.

Config reload will have to sit for a bit more, I think we need to do a few rounds of cleanups in the config handling first, to decouple it so this is possible.
