Use case for reload plugin

  1. At present if we need to reload plugin then we need to go through menu bar. However if an external application wants to reload plugin ( say to change sleepmode or other fields); now it can do so. It only needs to make an api call and doesn't need to go through menu.

Use case for isAppInSleepMode

  1. external client making use of NVDA needs to know whether NVDA is in sleep mode or not for a certain application ( identified by application name - executable name ). This is useful for certain programs which wants to ensure certain behaviour ( sleep mode - ON/OFF). At the same time after toggling the status; it needs to ensure whether the change has taken place or not.

Please let me know if you need more information.

@jcsteh @michaelDCurran Do the usage cases provided in #2690 (comment) suffice?

We really need practical use cases here, not theoretical ones. For example, why does your external application need to do these things? What is it actually trying to achieve from a user perspective?

Closing given the age of the issue and the fact that we can't contact the reporter any more.
