Configuration reloading - add more reload services, redesign card

[SeanPM5]

The request

Configuration reloading card under Server Control panel is currently missing a bunch of things since a lot more reload services have been added lately. Here are some not currently on the card:

input_boolean.reload
input_datetime.reload
input_number.reload
input_select.reload
input_text.reload
frontend.reload_themes
person.reload
python_script.reload
timer.reload
zone.reload

Although it doesn't necessarily require a redesigned card to add these, the current style of every button on a seperate line would result in a very tall height (included an image at the bottom). So here is an idea I had to accommodate these:

Chips with multi-select would allow adding all of the various services while still keeping the card a reasonable size. Even with everything added, it would be shorter than it currently is. An added benefit is that you can reload multiple things at once. So if you make a brand new automation that has an input boolean you could do them both at the same time.

The alternatives

Alternative would be to keep the existing style but just add everything to it, which would result in a super tall card. Below is a mockup of that, and it's missing stuff like Reload Zones which was just added recently (so it'd become even taller over time).

@SeanPM5 another option would be to group all inputs into one group and show one button RELOAD INPUTS instead of five, but I think the first idea (multi-select chips) is much better, as it will look better when new reload services will be added.

What do you think about adding a second button RELOAD ALL? In both cases clicking on button/buttons should display a confirmation dialog (can't check right now if this already happens)

From a user perspective, why not just a single "Reload" button?

[SeanPM5]

I don't think it should be a single button because of lower powered hardware.

With my RPi3 (and 1200 entities) it takes like 7-8 minutes to restart Home Assistant. I would imagine that reloading everything would probably take a similar amount of time -- or at least be much longer than doing only the portions you need. That's too lengthy of a wait imo if you're doing simple tasks like just wanting to see an updated icon/group/scene.

But I do like the idea and think it should be added, just not forced. I think a "Reload Selected" and "Reload All" button would work best.

FYI It will likely be "RELOAD INPUTS" and not all of them expanded

@frenck, @balloob did note that he isn't sure we'd handle that well as it currently stands FWIW

The Multi-Chip proposal is both compact and flexible. In the mockup shown above, I suggest the chips be sorted alphabetically. There should also be means of quickly selecting all chips (perhaps via an "All" chip?)

[balloob]

@iantrich we should just test it and see what exceptions show up on backend and frontend and fix those. We should be able to handle a ton of reloads. Note though that reloading input * might trigger automations

[hmmbob]

I just came across this issue when I was looking if anyone ever requested the "reload items" to be ordered alphabetically. If possible, it would make absolute sense (to me, that is) to order the buttons / items in alphabetical order if this work is being implemented :)

Sorting by name is difficult with translations
