dunst: reload the running notifier when the mesh rewrites its file
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds dunst → g14, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered

A setting changed through mesh-controller.settings rewrote dunstrc, but the
running dunst kept the old font and width until the next login. Declare the
package's dunst.service in the account's manager, without a state, with
reload-on the configuration, so the node-engine runs its ExecReload
(dunstctl reload) and what is on screen stays. Add dunst_reload to do the
same on demand and say the font and width the files set.
