[strongSwan] ipsec update and SIGHUP

[Emeric POUPON]

Hello,

I think it may make sense to forward the 'HUP' signal from starter to charon.
What do you think?

Yes, this will cause starter to reread ipsec.conf.

The charon daemon only reads strongswan.conf, and ipsec.conf is only
read by starter.  So if you changed both files you might want to send
SIGHUP to both charon and starter (the latter can be done via `ipsec
update`).

Tobias
