As a developer I want all code updates to be automatically reloaded

Copied in from the existing backlog. Needs grooming.

There are a few cases like discovery where changes are required to allow hot reloading of code

Note: there is a standard way of reloading code changes. We need to figure out a way to make it more convenient to load custom code in the development environment.

I'm not sure if there is anything else to be done here. To achieve that, plugin developers should implement the "local-docker-compose-dev-services" to make sure that their Django services runs with ./manage.py runserver. This is already the case with edx-platform and ecommerce. Maybe that we should make this fact clearer by doing a better job at documenting patches (see openedx/wg-devops#28).

I haven't experienced any issues with this in my Tutor use so far 👍🏻 We'll make sure via patch docs that it's clear to plugin devs how to make their services automatically reload code.
