Command to reload *some* configuration values

[GoogleCodeExporter]

we really need a way to add and remove passwords on-the-fly without restarting 
the server. it would be even better if we had the option to centralize the 
passwords so only one file would need to be edited to update the passwords for 
multiple servers that share them.

my thought is a separate text file containing the passwords stored either 
locally (if servers are on same machine) or remotely that each server 
reads/fetches in timed intervals.

The ability to reload most configuration values should be do-able.

With the /reloadconfig command, any script (or even internal module for that 
matter) that reads *directly* from the `protocol.config` dict (not cached, 
copied, or inner object references) will see new values as soon as this command 
is invoked.

(Should there be an event that scripts could hook into do do extra processing?)
