Description:
For some parameters in config.ini, all cluster processes should be restarted, including mysqlds. For other parameters, mysqld processes do not need to be restarted. This should be reflected in the output from ndb_config --xml --configinfo. 

See also http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=47366 (show restart types), http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49656 (MCM should not restart mysqld nodes when changing a ndb(mt)d attribute), http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49781 (Insufficient restart types for API nodes listed in ConfigInfo.cpp) and http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49668 (ndb_config: Need more fine-grained restart impact description). 

How to repeat:
Feature request

Suggested fix:
Add attribute in the xml output for each parameter, e.g. restartmysqld="false". Default should probably be to restart mysqlds.
