Reload Caddy immediately when a domain (or ACME email) is saved

The Caddyfile is generated at runtime by caddy-generate-config.service
from /var/lib/domains/*, but the generator only re-runs when caddy.service
starts fresh. Saving a domain while Caddy is already running therefore
never seats the new virtual host — no proxying and no ACME cert — and the
Hub's reachability check shows a misleading 'ports 80/443' router error
until the next reboot or rebuild.

api_domains_set and api_domains_set_email now restart the generator and
reload Caddy (ExecReload: caddy reload --force, no dropped connections)
right after saving. Entirely skipped when Caddy is inactive — e.g. Node
role before its first domain-based service is enabled — because the
rebuild that enables the service starts caddy.service for the first time,
runs the generator first (requiredBy), and seats the already-saved domain
on its own. Best-effort throughout: a domain save never fails because of
a Caddy reload issue.

"""Regenerate Caddy's runtime Caddyfile and reload it (best-effort).
The Caddyfile is generated at runtime by caddy-generate-config.service
from /var/lib/domains/* (see modules/core/caddy.nix). The generator only
runs before caddy.service starts — nothing re-runs it while Caddy is up.
So when a domain is saved while Caddy is already running, the new virtual
host never gets seated: no proxying and no ACME certificate, and the
Hub's reachability check wrongly reports a "ports 80/443" error until
the next reboot or a rebuild that happens to start Caddy fresh. Restart
the generator, then reload Caddy so the change takes effect immediately.
Entirely skipped when Caddy is not active — e.g. the Node role before
its first domain-based service is enabled. In that case the rebuild
that enables the service starts caddy.service for the first time, which
runs the generator first (requiredBy caddy.service) and seats the
already-saved domain on its own.
