Reload the conf on SIGUSR1/2

doc/biboumi.1.md

@@ -57,6 +57,10 @@ The configuration file uses a simple format of the form
   from 0 to 3.  0 is debug, 1 is info, 2 is warning, 3 is error.  The
   default is 0, but a more practical value for production use is 1.
 
+The configuration can be re-read at runtime (you can for example change the
+log level without having to restart biboumi) by sending SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2
+(see kill(1)) to the process.
