ipn/ipnlocal: reload prefs correctly on ReloadConfig

We were only updating the ProfileManager and not going down
the EditPrefs path which meant the prefs weren't applied
till either the process restarted or some other pref changed.

This makes it so that we reconfigure everything correctly when
ReloadConfig is called.

Updates #13032
