Description of homeassistant.reload_core_config (#15518)
I found the previous description of the homeassistant.reload_core_config service to be misleading. The entire configuration.yaml isn't reloaded.

p.s. first attempt at a docs PR.

The Home Assistant integration provides generic implementations like the generic `homeassistant.turn_on`.
## Services
The `homeassistant` integration provides services for controlling Home Assistant itself, as well as generic controls for any entity.
### Service `homeassistant.check_config`
Reads the configuration files and checks them for correctness, but **does not** load them into Home Assistant. Creates a persistent notification and log entry if errors are found.
### Service `homeassistant.reload_core_config`
Reloads the core configuration under `homeassistant:` and all linked files. Once loaded the new configuration is applied. New `customize:` information will be applied the next time the state of the entity gets updated.
### Service `homeassistant.restart`
Restarts the Home Assistant instance (also reloading the configuration on start).
This will also do a configuration check before doing a restart. If the configuration check fails then Home Assistant will not be restarted, instead a persistent notification with the ID `persistent_notification.homeassistant_check_config` will be created. The logs will show details on what failed the configuration check.
### Service `homeassistant.stop`
Stops the Home Assistant instance. Home Assistant must be restarted from the Host device to run again.
### Service `homeassistant.set_location`
Update the location of the Home Assistant default zone (usually "Home").
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
|---------------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `latitude` | no | Latitude of your location. |

latitude: 32.87336
longitude: 117.22743
