[midPoint] reloading script for a resource

[Pavol Mederly]

Joshua,

I think we have to differentiate here a bit between:

 1. midPoint,
 2. Evolveum-provided connectors,
 3. other (3rd party) connectors.

We try to document midPoint and "our" connectors as well as 
realistically possible. (It is not easy, though. And many pieces are 
missing. But generally you'd find what you need at the wiki.)
As for the other connectors, just like ScriptedSQL one, the situation 
might be different.

I forgot one important source of information: the samples 
<https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/tree/master/samples>. Again, they 
are not ideal, but they could provide some hints. E.g. you can have a 
look (but you perhaps probably have done that) at the samples for 
ScriptedSQL connector 
<https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/tree/master/samples/resources/scriptedsql>.

Anyway, I think we'd like to gradually improve the overall situation, so 
any reports on broken link, missing documentation pieces, and so on are 
more than welcome.
