agent/consul: make Client/Server config reloading more obvious

I believe this commit also fixes a bug. Previously RPCMaxConnsPerClient was not being re-read from the RuntimeConfig, so passing it to Server.ReloadConfig was never changing the value.

Also improve the test runtime by not doing a lot of unnecessary work.
