Subject: [PATCH] Add a bit of documentation about restart_application (#1582)

It is now explicitly stated that if the application type is `load`, the
application will not actually be restarted by the `restart_application`
instruction in relup, even if it is currently running. It will only be stopped
and re-loaded.
