v0.4.3 - feat: Implement dynamic configuration updates without restart

- Add cache refresh mechanism for config updates
- Implement selective re-initialization for NIP-11 relay info changes
- Categorize configs as dynamic vs restart-required using requires_restart field
- Enhance admin API responses with restart requirement information
- Add comprehensive test for dynamic config updates
- Update documentation for dynamic configuration capabilities

Most relay settings can now be updated via admin API without requiring restart, improving operational flexibility while maintaining stability for critical changes.

### Dynamic Configuration Updates
C-Relay supports **dynamic configuration updates** without requiring a restart for most settings. Configuration parameters are categorized as either **dynamic** (can be updated immediately) or **restart-required** (require relay restart to take effect).
**Dynamic Configuration Parameters (No Restart Required):**
- All relay information (NIP-11) settings: `relay_name`, `relay_description`, `relay_contact`, `relay_software`, `relay_version`, `supported_nips`, `language_tags`, `relay_countries`, `posting_policy`, `payments_url`
- Authentication settings: `auth_enabled`, `nip42_auth_required`, `nip42_auth_required_kinds`, `nip42_challenge_timeout`
- Subscription limits: `max_subscriptions_per_client`, `max_total_subscriptions`
- Event validation limits: `max_event_tags`, `max_content_length`, `max_message_length`
- Proof of Work settings: `pow_min_difficulty`, `pow_mode`
- Event expiration settings: `nip40_expiration_enabled`, `nip40_expiration_strict`, `nip40_expiration_filter`, `nip40_expiration_grace_period`
**Restart-Required Configuration Parameters:**
- Connection settings: `max_connections`, `relay_port`
- Database and core system settings
When updating configuration, the admin API response will indicate whether a restart is required for each parameter. Dynamic updates take effect immediately and are reflected in NIP-11 relay information documents without restart.
### Response Format
All admin commands return **signed EVENT responses** via WebSocket following standard Nostr protocol. Responses use JSON content with structured data.
