A new menu entry was added

I'm not sure this should be its own menu item. The vast majority of the time that the web interface gets hung up, it's PHP doing it. As things stand now in 2.2, we've gone from console option 11 fixing virtually all instances of the web interface getting hung (2.0.x and 2.1.x and kill PHP too), to it fixing virtually none. People have come to expect that'll kill off PHP, and for it to be of much use, it needs to do so. We used to not touch PHP at option 11, and it rarely helped anything. It fixes nearly all of the rare hang ups with the web interface in 2.1.x.

What all else would be affected? I can't think of anything where it'd be a big deal, it'd briefly interrupt captive portal and similar, but there's a chance it's messed up anyway if the web interface is, and we're talking a very brief interruption. It's not like people do this all the time, it's a rarely-used last ditch effort.

I'm in favor of removing that new console menu item, and adding that action as part of option 11, unless there's a really good reason not to that I'm missing.

Applied in changeset commit:5a42d9ef426a05cbd64559bbe2b75a355dc0d821.
