This PR allows changing the hinted_handoff_enabled option in runtime, either by modifying and reloading YAML configuration, or through HTTP API.
This PR also introduces an important change in semantics of hinted_handoff_enabled:
- Previously, hinted_handoff_enabled controlled whether _both writing and sending_ hints is allowed at all, or to particular DCs,
- Now, hinted_handoff_enabled only controls whether _writing hints_ is enabled. Sending hints from disk is now always enabled.
Fixes: #5634
