Fix #263: document confusing initctl reload foo command
What a ride, apparently we support restarting run/tasks in the same runlevel they have already started once in. Still unsure if adding support for reloading a particular Finit .conf file for a service should be in the context of this command (it isn't now). Maybe it is better left as a future expansion when we switch to the new .conf format? Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
