[Feature] Allow loading configuration into graph-node on-the-fly

[matthewdarwin]

Description

We change the config in graph-node quite a bit. This currently means writing a config file and restarting the container. For enterprise level production services it is expected that we should not need to totally restart things. Injecting new configuration while running is a common practice since years.

For things that run under systemd or similar, sending a SIGHUP to reload configuration is normal way to do things.

For many other services they accept sending configuration updates via API calls.

I would propose that graph-node should accept all configuration updates by API call. The graph-node CLI should understand how to read and write this configuration.
