ConfigDispatcher doesn't remove configuration variable in runtime

[paulianttila]

When user remove configuration property from configuration file in runtime, property is not removed from the configuration existing in memory. So basically, when you want to remove configuration property, you need to restart environment. Is this a bug or feature?

I meet this problem in openHAB dashboard. User can add additional tiles to dashboard by configuration properties, but when user removes property from the file, tile is not removed as property still exist in configAdmin's memory and will be provided to bundle.

This is only possible for config files which address a single service (exclusive config). Modifications to exclusive config files (first line does define exclusive pid like pid:<service-pid>) will be reflected in the configAdmin. See #4216 for technical details.

I have created #4968 so that it is easier to explain in future :-)
