Document restart vs reload of PostgreSQL during reconfigure

Diana Stanley requested to merge dstanley-master-patch-97165 into master

What does this MR do?

One of the remedies mentioned in #2526 regarding omnibus, postgres, and postgres configuration changes was to document that omnibus only reloads postgres during a reconfigure, leaving postgres restarts to be run manually by administrators. This MR describes the situation and gives the user two methods of determining which settings will require a postgres restart as opposed to a simple reconfigure.
