Reload repository config while the bot is running

The bot loads configuration from a rust-bors.toml file, located in the root of the repositories attached to the bot. Currently, it only reloads them when the bot itself is restarted.

It should be able to reload them without restarting itself. Either periodically (e.g. every 30 minutes or so), or it should react to pushes to the main branch on the repository, and reload the config after each push (or if it finds out that the rust-bors.toml file was modified).

We should probably aim to match triagebot's behavior. I think that does a periodic refresh, but with a lower TTL (5 minutes?).

Yeah, it's probably for the best, as GH push webhooks can be lost.
