gitlab-runner reload fails on reload

See original GitHub issue

Looks like reload is not supported by debian gitlab-runner service.

RUNNING HANDLER [riemers.gitlab-runner : reload_gitlab_runner] *********************************************************************************************** fatal: [X.X.X.X]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Unable to reload service gitlab-runner: Failed to reload gitlab-runner.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit gitlab-runner.service.\nSee system logs and ‘systemctl status gitlab-runner.service’ for details.\n”}

I think restart can be used instead.

I can also confirm this issue and therefore would really like to see PR #41 merged in as soon as possible 😉 By the way. I am using Debian Stretch. Maybe the systemd service installed by the old gitlab-ci-multi-runner package did support the reload action. The systemd service installed by the newer gitlab-runner package definitely does not.

After changing to the restart handler it seems to work.
