I don't know about "production", but I think it would be useful for
anyone developing their own custom backend. They don't need to recompile
the SSSD binary just for this.
We could make it a commandline argument if you think that's wiser, but
since only root can send it a signal anyway, I think we're probably
over-engineering it.
