[Bug]: get_config does not load latest from file

[onomou]

✈ Pre-Flight checks

• [X] I don't have SentinelOne antivirus installed (see above for the solution)
• [X] I have searched in the issues (open and closed) but couldn't find a similar issue
• [X] I have searched in the pyRevit Forum for similar issues
• [X] I already followed the installation troubleshooting guide thoroughly
• [X] I am using the latest pyRevit Version

🐞 Describe the bug

If get_config has already been called, and then the pyRevit_config.ini file is edited, get_config does not return the latest value from the file. This is true until the engine is reloaded (such as Ctrl + Shift + Alt.

⌨ Error/Debug Message

No error message. The old value is still returned from `get_config`.

♻️ To Reproduce

You can run this in pyRevit or RevitPythonShell.

from pyrevit import script
config = script.get_config('Demo Section')
config.first_var = 42
print('original value:', config.first_var)
script.save_config()

# edit pyRevit_config.ini ## Demo Section
# change first_var to something else
import configparser
cp = configparser.ConfigParser()
import os
config_file = os.path.join(os.getenv('APPDATA'), 'pyRevit', 'pyRevit_config.ini')
cp.read(config_file)
cp['Demo Section']['first_var'] = '12'
with open(config_file, 'w') as file:
    cp.write(file)

# this does not work
config = script.get_config('Demo Section')
print('still old value:', config.first_var) # prints 42

import sys
#del script.user_config
del sys.modules['pyrevit.userconfig']
config = script.get_config('Demo Section')
print('edited value:', config.first_var) # prints new value

⏲️ Expected behavior

The latest data from pyRevit_config.ini will be read and returned.
