This PR rewrites and extends the
reloadkeyword hyprpaper documentation.This section was originally very short, with no example provided and only a very short description, this led to a lot of people missing this option and instead going with the old "unload, preload, set" combo which isn't needed and probably causes issues with the transition.
Examples of people missing this config option is seen in the discord server and hyprpaper issue tracker:

And I also missed it too when i first started using hyprpaper.
I also added a small piece of documentation about how to randomize your wallpaper using the
reloadkeyword. This is in response to hyprwm/hyprpaper#194 where people (including vaxry lmfao) mentioned sed'ing the config and relaunching hyprpaper as a good solution to it. The simple script I wrote is instead much better with no reloading of hyprland being needed. Simply change the wallpaper directory to wherever your ones are stored. (It also checks to make sure it doesn't set the same wallpaper as what is currently applied!)Let me know if you need any changes or if I should make the script more in depth, i.e. check for only .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or whatever. imo it's fine as it is but I could use another persons opinion.
