Delay in praefect storage becoming visible, and settings being applied

Problem to solve

We observed after running gitlab-ctl reconfigure on the GitLab application server that there was both a delay:

• seeing the praefect storage
• storage setting being propogated (the first project we created was created on the default node)

This seems like a caching issue, and means the verification step in the docs will consistently fail.

Proposal

Don't cache these settings, or clear the cache when making these changes
