Required for all PRs:
PR #1252 works well for stopping Telegraf, but reloading cause Telegraf to exit:
This is caused since $MAINPID (used by ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID) is the sh process. When sh process get a SIGHUP, it exits which cause child process (Telegraf) to be killed.
This PR add an "exec" which cause sh processed to be replaced by Telegraf, thus $MAINPID is now Telegraf itself.
