NGF is reloading NGINX for HTTPRoutes with no accepted Gateway #1123
Description
Describe the bug
We are reloading after reconciling a HTTPRoute even when there is no accepted Gateway and no config being generated.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Deploy a HTTPRoute referring to a Gateway that has not yet been created. Observe that NGINX config files are being regenerated and NGINX is reloaded.
Expected behavior
NGINX should not be reloaded when no NGINX config changes have occurred. In this specific case, without any accepted Gateway, we do not write anything new to the http.conf file, meaning there are no changes to be reloaded.
