dhttps://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Editing-Configuration-Files.md#reload-settings

transmission-daemon(1) writes out its entire config on exit.

Noticed while deploying with openvox, where the usual chain is:
- install package
- produce (partial) config file
- (re)start service (upon change)

But as the daemon updates the file, this would obviously cause
change -> restart loops, so soft-reload to apply config without
process exit is needed.

Works like a charm using the package's service as-is.

OK?
