[midPoint] reloading script for a resource

[Pavol Mederly]

...and this is perhaps the most important of all, if you are new to 
midPoint: the book 
<https://evolveum.com/midpoint/midpoint-guide-about-practical-identity-management/>. 
There's rather large effort put into summarizing main ideas on which 
midPoint is based. I think that understanding them helps a lot.
