In a recent change we moved to loading the config only once during the initial load of telegraf. This saves time and is more efficient from reading files on disk, however, it ignored the fact that we need to reload the config if someone is watching a config. This reload occurs in runAgent, where the second reading was always taking place.
This updates the logic, so that we only re-read the configs in runAgent if we are calling it a second time from the reload loop.
