Update 'SIGHUP on ironic services'

Browse Source 
This updates the spec for SIGHUP support to:
1. provide a link to the RFE/bug for the work to make most of the
   ironic configuration options mutable
2. mention that mutable option values cannot be cached forever

This is a follow up to 2298f9895f.

The value of a mutable configuration option should not be cached; or at least,
if it is cached, the value must be updated upon a SIGHUP occurrence.
