hostapd: Add RELOAD_BSS

When using multiple BSSes on a single radio, it is sometimes desirable
to reconfigure one BSS, without disconnecting the stations already
connected to other BSSes on the same radio.

When a BSS is reconfigured using the SET command, there is no "old"
configuration we can compare to (so we cannot compare a hash of the
configuration for example).

One possible solution would be to make the current RELOAD command
reload only the current BSS. However, that could break the workflow of
existing users. Instead, introduce a new RELOAD_BSS command, which
reloads only the current BSS.
