Feature: updateable configs and secrets #873

@rony5394

Description

@rony5394

Tell us about your request
Add option to change config & secret's content without restarting containers using it.

Which service(s) is this request for?
Docker Swarm

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Set up traefik or any app supporting hot config/secret reloading without any complex setups.
If I would want to change config without restart that would require network mount which adds single point of failure or distributed storage setup which defeats whole point of using swarm which is simplicity.
I have heard there are some workarounds with templates but I wanted to keep it clean.
(Last time when I have came up with workaround it started to duplicate containers)

Are you currently working around the issue?
No but I may use network mount if this PR won't pass.

Additional context
If something is unclear or seems weird please ask for clarification. My English is not the best. I think this change would make swarm more usable in prod.
