Only reload apps on actual config changes #2511

Your feature request
Currently when the config files do not change in any way but the timestamp gets updated, the apps will reload.
This makes it so that if your Appdaemon files are generated as part of your config in Nixos then all files are reloaded as the timestamp on every file will be the system reload time.
A way to fix this would be to still guard using the file mtime but also check a stored hash against the current hash for modifications, significantly reducing reloads for Nixos users.
It appears the change should be around here but I don't have enough experience with this project to perform it myself: file_check.py
