Description

Currently implemented strategy for configuration reload is not supported on Windows. SIGHUP is supported on POSIX-compliant systems, so we may want to think about another way to reload node configuration on Windows (e.g. like https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/issues/521). Affects the https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/issues/1949 if we're going to support this feature on Windows.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate platform specific signal handling on Windows. Explore alternatives like a file watcher, named pipe, or polling mechanism to trigger configuration reload instead of SIGHUP. Check existing references like nats server issue #521.
