Disabling periodic configuration synchronization would allow other configuration propagation schemes than periodic synchonization.

Currently the configuration for proxies, server, frontend can be be divergent for a long time. To avoid this it is proposed to allow users triggering configuration synchronization as per business needs and capabilities of our components.

With periodic synchronization disabled it is up to the users to implement the configuration propagation schemes through config_cache_reload runtime control options for both proxies and server.
