Watching of referenced files

[alex-schneider]

We have to watch (-watch) for referenced files in the config, e.g. openapi/file, settings/ca_file etc.

There are three types of file attributes:

mandatory

block	attribute
openapi	file
saml	idp_metadata_file
spa	bootstrap_file

optional without alternative

block	attribute
api	error_file
endpoint	error_file
error_handler	error_file
files	error_file
server	error_file
settings	ca_file

optional with alternative

block	attribute	alternative
basic_auth	htpasswd_file	password
certificate	ca_certificate_file	ca_certificate
certificate	leaf_certificate_file	leaf_certificate
certificate	private_key_file	private_key
certificate	public_key_file	public_key
jwt	key_file	key
jwt	permissions_map_file	permissions_map
jwt	roles_map_file	roles_map
jwt	signing_key_file	signing_key
jwt_signing_profile	key_file	key
tls	server_ca_certificate_file	server_ca_certificate
tls	client_certificate_file	client_certificate
tls	client_private_key_file	client_private_key

I'd propose to first concentrate on watching already existing file attributes, that might have their values changed, before also trying to watch newly added (or removed) optional attributes.

[johakoch]

I don't remember which attributes are already watched. Should we reopen this issue to implement watching to more attributes?

It seems a generic implementation for all abs file refs but I am missing any test-case for this.
