[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-docs] partially fix #3979: config: custom.cf: document service restart

[Stoiko Ivanov]

creating custom spamassassin configuration might be an advanced topic,
but documenting the needed steps in PMG should let users focus more on
the rules than finding out what else needs to be done.

only partially fixes the request, I still don't think that adding
an edit window for custom.cf to the GUI makes sense, and adding
custom.cf as template (to automatically pick up changes faster/on
pmgconfig sync), seems not really fitting.

I remebered seeing the bugzilla entry recently, while skimming over a thread
in the forum with (different) issues with custom.cf. Thought I'll document
this right away before trying to remember if/how this is handled the next
time a similar request comes up.

+The change to the configuration will be picked up when `pmg-smtp-filter` gets
