Description

When working with IPFS I often wished for a `ipfs daemon restart` or `reexec` command to counter resource-leaks or to replace the running daemon with the new version.
This should also handle clean umount of /ipns and /ipfs (if need be with `fusermount -u -z`) so that the new binary can handle them.

Also a related `ipfs daemon reload` or handling SIGHUP like classical UNIX daemons would be nice

Somewhat overlaps with #4380
